Estimating the term…
A shotshell comprised of shot pellets of different densities and materials which provide increased effectiveness at both close and long range. Preferably the pellets are disposed in longitudinally stratified layers, with the more dense pellets located rearwardly of the pellets of lesser density. The pellets having the greater density maintain a closer pattern at long range, because they are preferably made of tungsten which has a high density and are located rearwardly, while the pellets having lesser density are preferably made of steel, describe a much wider pattern because of their lower density and forward location, and are therefore most effective at close range.
A shotshell having longitudinally stratified layers of shot pellets having different densities by weight to provide increased effectiveness at both close and long range comprising:
A shotshell having longitudinally stratified layers of shot pellets having different densities by weight to provide increased effectiveness at both close and long range comprising:
A shotshell designed to provide increased effectiveness at both close and long range and having longitudinally stratified layers of shot pellets of different densities by weight, comprising:
A shotshell having longitudinally stratified layers of shot pellets of different densities by weight providing increased effectiveness at both close and long range, comprising;
A shotshell having longitudinally stratified layers of shot pellets having different densities by weight to provide increased effectiveness at both close and long range, comprising:
A lead-free shotshell containing at least two charges of pellets of a single size, one of said charges being of lesser density by weight and another of said charges being of greater density by weight and being disposed behind the other.
A shotshell containing pellets of a single size and further comprising:
