Who owns a Winch. 1300 and has shot Aguila minishells out of it?

[mick53]

Hey guys,

I'm curious about something and I can't seem to find any first-hand experience about it.

keep seeing this:

"I've heard (or read) that the Winchester Model 1300 loads, feeds and ejects the Aguila minishells with no problem."

I can't find any first hand evidence of it. You know, something like, "I own a Winchester 1300 and have fired a ton of Aguila minishells through it with no problems."

I'm not concerned with the efficacy of these minishells. I wouldn't be hunting elephants with them or using them for home defense.

I just want to know if they feed, fire and eject reliably in the Winchester 1300.

And there have been a few versions of the 1300 over the years. Do they really work in any or all of them or is this just like a rumor that has become an accepted truth due to repeitition?

(First hand experience only please or at the very least a true eyewitness account of whether they work in 1300s).

Thanks,

Mick

Tried them in mine - no joy. I haven't personally seen any pump they would work in reliably so far.

not a 1300, but they actually worked fairly well in the Mossberg 500 I had. Just had to make sure I was operating it quickly, little tolerance for a slow rack.
