But given a set weight amount of shot per shell, a larger shot will also produce a sparser pattern, meaning you could miss the target even if you're aiming correctly. When it comes to shooting, you need to consider the velocity, weight amount and size of your shot to balance power, pattern and accuracy.
And that's in addition to the choke on your gun, which is how tight the barrel is, at its far end. So, for turkey hunting, Corey and I need to use a shot size 4, 5 or 6 capable of taking down a turkey with enough velocity to do so at up to 45 yards while creating a tight enough pattern that most of our shot can remain grouped around the bird's head and neck. To do that, we have to go shoot different shells with different chokes at targets set at different ranges to determine what works best in each of our guns; shooting a shotgun is not as simple as using a rifle!
So, thanks to the variance described above, a single gun is able to perform a multitude of tasks. That's a useful merit that can also be used by law enforcement, soldiers are sportsmen to achieve an even greater variety of uses out of a single tool. We've all heard stories of olden day farmers loading up a shell with dry rice to run pesky kids off their property.
That non-lethality was expanded by bean bags, which have been employed for riot control and non-lethal law enforcement tasks for decades.
Now, that idea is getting a modern twist with a loads like the volt taser pictured at the top of the article. Or, lethality can be increased with flechettes think darts or sabots or by wiring buckshot together to create a traumatic wound channel. And, a shotgun can be used for stuff other than shooting things. Signal flares can be installed in a shotgun shell, enabling boaters or outdoorsmen to signal for help in an emergency. Shells can be used to deliver "flash bang" rounds capable of temporarily stunning people or even as a very powerful delivery method for pepper spray.
That's an awful lot of work performed by what's ostensibly just a little plastic cylinder. IndefinitelyWild is a new publication about adventure travel in the outdoors, the vehicles and gear that get us there and the people we meet along the way.
Follow us on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram. Nice article. I would add that gauge makes a huge difference in function. The photo shows a The A. By Wes Siler. Any failing in consistency within the fibre wads will, inevitably, be reflected in the performance of cartridges loaded with them. Fibre does not have the expansion capabilities of true felt wads and therefore is less able to compensate for any inconsistency.
This will show up in the ballistic results where greater variation in velocity can arise. There is a relatively simple answer to obtaining greater efficiency from fibre wad cartridges: the obturator disc used in place of the nitro over powder card. This is a plastic disc, formed with symmetrical gas sealing lips, and means it can be loaded either way up for ease of loading. Several companies have offered fibre wad cartridges with an obturator disc for several years. They have never quite taken off in the UK, probably because it still meant leaving a small piece of plastic behind.
Indeed, Gamebore are at this time launching just such an obturator in their Quad Seal cartridges. Plastic obturator discs left and over powder cards. To answer the pivotal question of whether fibre wad cartridges pose a performance difference the fair answer is: it depends. Cartridges depend on more things than the wad to achieve their overall performance. When all aspects are equal particularly shot quality and mean velocity the difference between a plastic wad and similar quality fibre wad cartridges is not great.
With premium cartridges the consistency in velocities and patterns achieved has often shown that the best quality fibre wad cartridges can closely match that of plastic wad loads. This has become more the case in recent times and is certainly the case that no shooter would be able to detect the difference from one shot to another. The very latest fibre wad development is that recently launched by French company Jocker.
This is a full cup wad with a shot cup preventing the shot touching the barrel bore, a fibre wad under the shot to provide cushioning and a gas seal skirt formed from card at the base.
It effectively replicates a plastic cup wad but made from all fibre materials. I have tried these and they worked very well. I anticipate seeing a lot more of them now the shooting grounds have opened up again. Typically, forcing cones were short. CIP bore sizes for bore guns run from Older guns tended to be at the tighter end with This fits well with the 0. With fibre wads not expanding as well as felt or plastic wads, it is inevitable that as bore sizes increase the amount to which fibre wads are compressed in the bore to provide good obturation is reduced.
This is a topic in itself, so suffice to say here that, as recent moves to larger bore diameters — often accompanied by longer forcing cones which further increase bore diameter at the point where gas pressure is highest — fibre wads can be faced with a more difficult task than they ever had previously. Tests have shown that some competition shotguns that produce excellent results with quality plastic wad cartridges can perform markedly less well with fibre wads.
