Explanation of the grouping offered by this ammunition
Fired at a speed of 420 m/s at V0, this ammunition ensures an average concentration of 87% of the lead pellets in a standard 76 cm diameter target positioned 30 metres away (with 55% of the pellets in the 53 cm diameter target core).
These percentages are the average of 5 shots fired with a rifle with a 76 cm half-choke barrel.
The iconic Solognac clay pigeon shooting cartridge!
This cartridge was designed to make clay pigeon shooting accessible to the greatest number of shooters, while offering the best possible value for money. We wanted it to be versatile for all FFBT clay pigeon shooting disciplines, from beginner to passionate shooter. This cartridge is fast, consistent and has an even pattern that has proved very popular. It is by far the biggest selling cartridge at DECATHLON, and is also biggest selling cartridge in France
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.
