Explanation of the grouping offered by this ammunition
Fired at a speed of 410 m/s at V0, this ammunition ensures an average concentration of 89% of the lead pellets in a standard 76 cm diameter target positioned 30 metres away (with 58% of the pellets in the 53 cm diameter target core).
These percentages are the average of 5 shots fired with a semi-auto rifle with a 76 cm half-choke barrel.
Lead ammunition VS steel ammunition: what are the differences?
1/Steel has a lower density than lead: shooting distances with steel will therefore be reduced (at identical loads and speeds between steel and lead ammunition).
2/Grouping: by loading and using a specific steel flask, we obtain denser and more regular groupings at a given distance than lead; steel does not deform (or deforms less than lead), and its sphericity is better than that of lead.
Safety
1/Check that your firearm accepts this type of ammunition.
2/Make sure your barrel is unobstructed before each shot.
3/Take your surroundings into account to hunt safely.
4/Make sure you identify your target before you shoot, and that all the conditions for a safe shot are met.
