Thanks! Very good presentation. What is your opinion on steel shot? In Russia we can use lead. In some European countries lead is banned or limited. In USA - limited. In UK they will ban lead in 5 years, as I understood.
Thank you my friend. It is a subject of a forthcoming video that have already filmed . I think at this stage it will appear in mid August. You will be very interested in the results.
Hello Russell, Very interesting video... Since the amount of antimony makes a huge difference in the penetration of the pellets, therefore in the success of the shot at longer distances, all manufactors should include the amount ( in % ) of antimony added on the lead...don't you agree ?? About your favourite brand of shells, you have chosen the most decent and well educated response, and by doing so, it reinforces my strong believe that you are a very honorable, decent man ! You give solid, neutral information and knowledge regardless your business interests or comercial connections .
Harder shot is better, but not everyone are ready to pay for this extra antimony... In fact we can load tungsten shot using shotcups designed for steel. Tungsten will go through anything except armor or something like this. But the price will kill this shell even before it is made.
Thanks Joaquim. Some manufacturers claim 6% antimony, but there is also a problem with this as the lead shot starts to loose its weight. I encourage everyone, particularly Sporting Clay shooters and ATA back-markers (27 yards) to do there own testing.
@@GoShooting I am using Shore type D hardness meter (tire durometer) to measure hardness of lead alloys. Here ua-cam.com/video/aFmRdBcYTwo/v-deo.html is my video on hardness of popular Russian sabot slug. 72 units is acceptable. 78 units is much better. And there is a caveat - in a month this lead ingot will get slightly harder. Increase is 2 units ua-cam.com/video/9FQjfQnNPmM/v-deo.html. This hardness meter is super cheap and super simple to use. I got mine from ebay for like $19. Disadvantage - you need melt shot into some specimen with enough flat surface. And due to melting there will be some loss in hardness.
Good stuff , it is about time that shot shell manufacturers and shooters got together and standardized shot sizes , maybe giving shot size measurement as well as giving it a number . I measured up a lot of Italian ,English , American and Spanish 7½ sizes and there was considerable variation in size ,
Amazing videos. Please note that the background music level must not be that high,can barely hear Russell explaining
We will have it looked at Tony. Cheers

@@GoShooting, thanks for your quick answer...,i've been shearching for that soft wood already...😀, to start my testings...

It would make the shotgun world a lot easier if they do.
Great information. Enjoyed. PSA Turn down the volume of the music.
Sorry about that
Better still turn it OFF but great vid 👍👍👍
There were some pretty messed up stuff to go through to find this vid
lol glad you liked it when you found it.
