Catweazle Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I found this when searching for information about the new Winchester rimfire. It's a steel shot cartridge with cubic shot. No idea if it's available here, but it's interesting anyway. http://winchesterproductdemos.winchester.com/Blind%20Side.html#/WatchTheVideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 its been around for a while. withoud sounding too preechy, its not had a warm welcoming over the pond. there have been some instances of barrel blockage. steel is innefficient at the best of times, making it cubed is the worst thing to do. the only thing it is good for if the fact large loads can be put in smaller cases due to the even stacking of the shot. and low airspaces between the shot.

al4x Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 sounds like one of those ideas that someone had that should never have been tried, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Interesting , but if it delivers 250% more trauma will there be anything left worth eating ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I would've thought the patterning would be terrible as the square shot would want to fly all over the place Edited December 18, 2012 by Breastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Interesting , but if it delivers 250% more trauma will there be anything left worth eating ! Good point. I remember reading that in days gone by cannon could be loaded with square shot for heathens, but round shot must be used for Christian enemies. The injuries caused by square shot were considered too horrific for civilized people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Some videos on you tube patterning it and a few other non toxic cartridges,the lad is disappointed with it, ok at closer range but that's no good. Sure it's better through a special choke like black cloud shot is. Figgy Edited December 20, 2012 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
