Explanation of the grouping offered by this ammunition
Fired at a speed of 415 m/s at V0, this ammunition ensures an average concentration of 88% of the lead pellets in a standard 76 cm diameter target positioned 30 metres away (with 57% 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.
Cartridge specially designed for optimal performance at medium range
Highly versatile, it guarantees the shooter excellent efficiency for all medium-range shooting situations (20/25 m). The combination of size 8 shots and a piston wad (manufacturer Gualandi) allows for a more generous pattern, with an optimal grouping (approximately 415 shot for this 28G cartridge, i.e. 15% more than in n°7.5 28G).
Perfect for Compak Sporting on the first shot thanks to its full pattern, it is also very suitable for the Course or the DTL.
Insights from competitor Maxime Cambier (former member of the French Compak Sporting team and SOLOGNAC co-designer).
“The T900 Sporting was the cartridge I’d been waiting for! It’s ideal for Compak Sporting as its characteristics ensure consistency and confidence in every shot. It’s undoubtedly a load you need to experience for yourself! This is truly my personal favourite and a cartridge I enjoy using every day.”
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.
