Cheddite 100 meter shells test

[figgy]

Lol this is funny. So we have long range specialist shotgun ammo now and we are exchanging stodger recipes

Still on topic as the carts are for starlings migrating at height

We've see photo's of breakdown of the 100 meter cartridge.I assume the 60 meter one must be loaded on a different principle .Dipper.

 

well, it depends as you've got two types:

 

1- Long Range: designed to reach long distances but loaded in the same way as normal cartridges with the cup in the correct position. They are characterised by heavy loads of big size pellets, slow burning powder and relatively low muzzle speed. the principle is that the pellet loss of speed is determined is directly proportional to it's size and speed.

 

2- Extreme Range: like the Cheddite, reloaded to use the air's resistance and the pellets weight to reach further. the principle, here, is that the pellets (all included in the cup) will use the cup as a travel vehicle to preserve the pattern until the air produces enough resistance to push the cup backwards. at this point the pellets will push the cup and make it turn. At this point the cup will stop and release the pellets to act as normal.

 

The distance on these shell is determined by the anatomy of the cup and its aerodynamic. For that very reason (lack of instruments to forecast the behaviour of the cup) i would not advise reloading them at home: the behaviour of these shells, with the wrong cup, could go dangerously wrong.
