Use
The shell you'll be able to make with this kit will be ideal for all your duck hunting. The 35-gram charge of 4 1/2 pellets is equivalent to 32 grams of N°6 lead. The pattern is fairly open and answers chokes well. The BSS® ball is lethal on big ducks up to 40 to 45 m. In fact, it's also an excellent choice for shooting wood pigeons in wetlands.
Tests show a speed of 390 m/s for a perfectly centered shot in a Manufrance Falcor 1/2 choke, 70% concentration and a hit count of 6 balls on Mallard ducks (1 dm²).
The shotshell can be fired in all chokes and weapons, just like any other lead cartridge.
