There is a bewildering array of commercially loaded shotgun shells for sale, from the .410 to the 10-gauge. In fact, there are more types of shells and shot sizes on the market now than ever before. With this overwhelming selection of shells available, here, finally, is a practical, reasonably priced book that makes sense of it all. It lists commercially available shotshell loads from the .410-bore to the 10-gauge, in all shot sizes available, different shot types (lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten, and others) so that the shooter or hunter can quickly find what will be best for the gun he has and the game or targets he wants to shoot. Each shotgun shell with each loading has its own table--over 1,600 tables!!--showing shot size; weight of shot; recoil; average number of pellets in the shell; manufacturer's order number; shell length and type of hull; type of wad; and whether the shot is buffered or not. In addition, each table contains data that details velocity (in 10-yard intervals from 0 to 70 yards); average pellet energy; and time of flight in seconds. This book includes complete listings and tables of every load made from the following manufacturers: Aguilla, Armscorp, ARMUSA, Baschieri & Pellagri, Bismuth Cartridge Company, Clever, Dionisi, Dynamit Nobel, Eley Hawk, Federal, Fiocchi, Hevi-Shot (now loaded exclusively by Remington), Kent, Lightfield, Nobel Sport, PMC, RIO, Remington, Rotweil, Sellier & Bellot, RST, RWS, and Winchester. In addition, this informative reference contains authoritative articles on the history and development of shotshells, the components and technical data that govern production of shotshells, what load and shot size to use for what type of game or target, and much more. Never before has so much information on shotshells and ballistics been placed in a single book. Accentuated with photos from the field and the range, this is a reference book unlike any other. |
