Looks like there will be another source for low pressure shotgun ammo. https://www.agcammo.com/product-category/ammunition

AGC Ammo was at the Rock Mountain Clays SxS shoot this past weekend and had cases of low pressure 12 gauge and 20 gauge. What they had on the tables were 2.75" length shells, but according to the brother of the owner, they are hoping to get 2.5" hulls into production within the next several months. The cases at the shoot were selling for $120 for the 12 gauge ammo. IF I am remembering correctly the 12 gauge load was just under 1000 fps with a pressure just under 5000 PSI

I probably sound like a commercial, but AGC is an established company, not a brand new start up, but low pressure shotgun shells would be a new product line for them.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

The impression I got, from the admittedly short conversation, is that you would buy it directly from them. The brother of the owner did say that the website wasn't up to what they wanted, at least right now.

My impression, for whatever it is worth, is that AGC has been a US government contractor for years and that they are probably just starting to move into the civilian market and are in the early stages of shotgun, pistol and rifle ammo.

I walked away from the conversation optimistic, the brother of the owner was a nice guy, wasn't pushing a line of BS and seemed they fully believed in being able to deliver on their product in the very near future. The price of the flats of 12 & 20 that they had at the shoot were $120 a case. And yes, I typed $120.00/case.

Sorry I don't have more information

And don't listen to Ed.

Low pressures are fine but you don't have to go under 1000 fps to achieve them. I'm glad there's another supplier coming about, but they need to stick with low pressure loads at around 1100-1150 fps, IMO. Easily achievable.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
