A Nobel prize for ammunition

... This doesn’t actually exist, but when

Alfred Nobel created the Alfred Nobel & Co.

in 1865 to produce the dynamite he

had developed, the pioneering spirit and

inventiveness he demonstrated were the

keys to his success. The search for new

ways, the visions of new products and

properties were part of the company phi-

losophy from the very start. The Nobel Peace Prize created

by Alfred Nobel, and awarded many times over to research-

ers, artistic and socially engaged people, proves every year

what importance aiming for improvements had, even in the

personal life philosophy of the company

founder. The company retained this spirit

of research even after Nobel’s death in

1896. In the spring of 2002, the ammu-

nitions business of Dynamit Nobel was

taken over by the Swiss technology group

RUAG. The newly created RUAG Ammo-

tec GmbH can now take advantage of the

chance to create new synergies and further develop the latest

ammunitions technology. It is no wonder that millions of hunt-

ers and marksmen around the world place their trust in the

traditional brands of RWS, Rottweil, Norma, HP and GECO.

High quality products

For more than a century now, ammuni-

tion products have been manufactured

at the Fürth-Stadeln RUAG Ammotec

GmbH factory. The company has had

a lively history. In 1855, Heinrich Uten-

doerffer received permission to set up

a laboratory for the production of pro-

pellants. In 1889 Utendoerffer then sold his company, which

was then still located in Nuremberg, in 1889 to the “Rheinisch

Westfälische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft” (RWS) founded

in 1886 in Troisdorf. After there were repeated problems in

Nuremberg with regards to concession

allocations, the factory was moved in

1894 to today’s Fürth district of Stadeln.

In 1971, the shot cartridge production,

founded in Rottweil am Neckar and

located for decades in Karlsruhe-Dur-

lach, was moved to Fürth-Stadeln. Since

then, Rottweil shot cartridges for hunting and sport have been

produced here together with another wide range of products

with “explosive characters”. Production is carefully monitored

so that you can shoot successfully and safely.

The brands

RWS started development of rust-free propel-

lants back in 1901. Instead of the previously used

potassium chlorate, which often caused rust for-

mation and barrel erosion, the ammunitions spe-

cialist tested various other substances such as e.g.

barium nitrate. Increasing numbers of slow-rusting propel-

lants came into use after 1910. The main breakthrough only

came in 1918 once trizinate had been tested for use in igni-

tion caps. Trizinate is very storage stable and has excellent

ignition characteristics, but is also very insensitive.

Only the addition of tetraze made trizinate sensi-

tive enough for use. This propellant was patented

in 1926, called SINOXID® and is, as a focal inven-

tion, now used around the world. The advantages

of the SINOXID® mixture are still valid today: Rust and erosion-

free action, uniform action, high storage stability and reduc-

tion of environmental pollution thanks to the mercury-free

components.

The foundation of the Rottweil powder factory on

the Neckar goes back, according to old documents,

to the 15th century. The name Rottweil became

famous thanks fi rstly to the red Waidmannsheil

shot cartridge and since 1921 to the current day thanks to

the legendary “black Waidmannsheil” with its cardboard case.

Rottweil shot cartridges have been made since 1971 in Fürth-

Stadeln under the control of the company RUAG Ammo-

tec GmbH. Rottweil hunting and sport shot cartridges have

always had a good reputation with regards to their quality and

performance and are appreciated equally around

the world by hunters and marksmen. Most of the

“Rottweil employees” are themselves enthusiastic

hunters and clay pigeon shooters. Their valuable

experience is constantly added to the development process

and has an infl uence on even the smallest details of the Rot-

tweil shotgun cartridges. This personal engagement is a part

of our company philosophy: At the moment of fi ring, hunters

and marksmen can concentrate on the essentials and place

their trust at all times in Rottweil shot cartridges.

A balanced mixture

The intermediate material (wad)

The fi bre wad, card wad, H-wad and plastic case plug all act

separately or in combination as the intermediate wad mate-

rial sealing the powder chamber away from the shot load in

the cartridge. The wad is necessary to transfer the surge of

combustion gases as force against the shot load. It also acts as

an effective sealant against the escape of hot powder gases to

the shot load. If this extreme heat acted directly

on the lead shot load, it could cause lumps to

form through the sticking together of shot grains.

This would lead to a hit pattern with poor cov-

erage and the clumped shot grains would also

have a greater range, thus putting considerable

areas around the target area in danger. The wad

material must therefore be so elastic and plas-

tic that it expands circularly when compressed

by the pressure of the combustion gases. This

ensures secure gas sealing behind the shot load

both in the case, the chamber cone of the fi ring

chamber and when passing through the barrel.

In addition to gas sealing, it also effects reliable

cleaning of the barrel walls, removing residues

and deposits left by the previous shot. The plas-

tic cup wad prevents the lead shot from being

abraded in the barrel. The rear section acts like a

collar seal during the shot; powder gases cannot

therefore escape in that direction.

The powder

The smokeless nitrocellulose powder is an offensive combust-

ing powder. When it is ignited, the powder charge is converted

almost without smoke and without residues into a large gas

volume which provides the shot with the necessary energy.

The type and amount of powder is decisive in determining the

gas pressure, to a large extent the speed and to some extent

the shot pattern scatter, the recoil and the function of the car-

tridge in self-loading shotguns.

The shot charge

The shot grains, made of a special lead alloy, are cast in a

shot tower 43 m high. The molten lead drips from the top of

the tower through a sieve-type container into a

water container at the foot of the tower. The fall

through the tower creates the ball shape of the

shot. A mechanical sorting device automatically

sorts out irregular and incorrectly dimensioned

grain sizes. Rottweil shot cartridges use GECO-X

hard shot which contains special alloy supple-

ments and is surface treated. This almost com-

pletely prevents deformation of the shot and

lead deposits in the barrel. Lead shot has been

increasingly criticised over the past years because

of increasing environmental awareness. Rottweil

has therefore concentrated in detail on alterna-

tives to lead shot. It was however determined

that currently there are no high-quality, techni-

cal and cost effective replacements for lead shot

apart from soft iron shot. Steel shot however

has different ballistic properties and cannot be

dealt with here in just a few sentences. We have

therefore dedicated a separate chapter to the

topic of “steel shot” (see Page 14).

The crimp

In modern shot cartridges, the case mouth is crimped closed

over the shot charge in a star crimp pattern, which reduces

the length of the cartridge (in comparison to the roll crimp

with cover wad that is only used infrequently).

Quality decides

The case

Up until 1960, shot cartridges only came with

cardboard cases. Since the increased industrial

use of plastics in the 70’s, completely non-

swelling plastic cases have also been in use.

However, some cartridges are still produced

with cardboard in order to counter increasingly

signifi cant environmental problems. The card-

board case tube is produced with several, glued-

together layers of a high-quality Kraft paper,

perfectly calibrated and glazed, then lacquered

as protection against moisture. The base plug

in cardboard cases consists of a special card-

board, perfectly dimensioned and produced by

strongly compressing spirally wound cardboard

strips. This stabilises the case fl oor, contains the propellant

and seals the case to the rear during fi ring. The plastic case

tube consists of polyethylene (PE). Polyethyl-

ene is, according to technical regulations, not

a hazardous substance and can therefore be

disposed of in domestic waste/general waste.

A thick-walled tube is produced and this tube

is continuously bi-axially stretched in a special

system. This results in fi ve-fold strengthen-

ing of the output tube. The tube is pressed,

together with the brass head, to form the car-

tridge base by means of the base plug. The

brass head is made of sheet steel and then

brass-plated. The imprinted numbers indicate

the calibre of the cartridge. The brass head in

plastic cases replaces the card inlay thanks to

its special shape. This results in both a solid fi t

of the primer and good sealing thanks to the high elasticity of

the plastic material.

The ignition

The shot cartridge ignition is a centerfi re igni-

tion (also called: medium ignition) and is

located in the ignition bell of the case fl oor.

It is an anvil ignition because the ignition

case contains the ignition cap with the very

impact sensitive propellant and the anvil. The housing, anvil

and ignition cap form a compact unit. The ignition can only

work reliably when a perfect fi ring pin strikes

deeply enough into the centre of the ignition

cap with suffi cient energy. The propellant

is pushed against the anvil by the fi ring pin

impact where it ignites within a thousandth

of a second. This energy is transferred in the

form of a powerful fl ame through the fl ash hole and ignites

the powder.

4 5

In Germany, as in other C.I.P. * member states, shot cartridge

manufacturers must comply with specific limits set out in the

firing laws. This specifies that the average gas pressure in cali-

bre 12 must not exceed a value

of 740 bar, 780 bar for calibre 16

and 820 bar for calibre 20. With

the shot pattern, it is not the

initial speed directly before the

barrel mouth (V0 ) that is meas-

ured, but the V2.5, i.e. the speed

at 2.5 m distant from the barrel

mouth. The flight speed of the

shot grains is mainly dependent

on the shot grain size. V2.5 meas-

urements may vary considerably

even if the initial speed is identi-

cal, as shot with smaller diame-

ters lose speed more rapidly due

to the air resistance acting on the

lower intrinsic weight of the shot.

The total shot width of lead shot,

i.e. the distance where it could

endanger the area surrounding the target, can be roughly cal-

culated as follows: Shot size x 100 = danger area in m.

Example: 3 mm shot x 100 = 300 m. This is the greatest pos-

sible hazard with a favourable firing angle. This hazard area is

significantly lower for soft iron shot because of the lower spe-

cific weight of the shot. Clumping

shot however forms projectiles

of greater weight and therefore,

depending on the weight of the

shot lumps, can endanger the

surroundings at significantly

greater distances. The huntsman

shot firing distance using lead

shot is between 35 and at the

most 40 m depending on calibre

and shot grain size. In addition,

scattering is so great that there is

not sufficient patterning. The pen-

etration force and therefore the

effective killing effect of the shot

decreases with increasing shot

distance – and this occurs more

rapidly, the smaller the shot is.

The different calibres

The calibre designation for shotguns comes from England and

is internationally valid. The calibre is based on the number of

uniformly round balls, cast from pure lead, that weigh pre-

cisely one English pound (453.6 g). 16 uniformly sized balls

are therefore known as calibre 16. The most common shot-

gun calibres are 12, 16, 20, 28 and 36 (=.410). The calibre

data and the manufacturer data are imprinted on the car-

tridge base of shotgun cartridges. The case length is also given

with the calibre information, e.g. calibre 16/70. The entire

case length is defined, e.g. 65, 67.5, 70, 76 or 89 mm. Sealed

cartridges are generally approx. 6 mm shorter with roll crimps

and approx. 11 mm shorter for star crimps than the nomi-

nal measurement given for case length. Therefore cartridges

with longer cases can fit without problem before firing into

shotguns with shorter firing chambers. When the case mouth

opens or unfolds after firing, the chamber cone of a shorter

firing chamber prevents complete opening of the case. This

causes a blockage of the shot load in the firing chamber cone

and this can lead to an increase in gas pressure. In order to

manufacture a single cartridge type for the chamber lengths

65 and 70 mm, cartridges with a case length (average length)

of 67.5 mm have been developed for 12, 16 and 20 calibres.

“The hunting desire sent me out one evening last

August. I aimed for a small ladder near to a foxhole,

climbed up and got myself in place. Time passed and it

got steadily darker. I had already accepted the thought of

returning home without any prizes and was picking up

my rifl e shotgun to unload it when I saw a movement

near the main hole. A grey shadow slowly came out of

the hole. No more time for the binoculars so I used the

telescopic sights. It was true: a fox. It suddenly turned

and started going back to the hole. Now everything

went really fast: aim, release and .. fi re! My load of 3.5

mm Waidmannsheil shot did a good job. The red fox

leapt up and then collapsed on himself. Only then did I

realise how the hunting fever had gripped me. I climbed

down to look at the fox. The closer I came, the larger he

got. An impressive dog of approx. 8 kg in weight lay

before me. My black Rottweil ® Waidmannsheil once

again gave me good service.”

Jochen Borchert, President of the German Hun-

ting Association (Deutscher Jagdschutzverband)

“When winter has returned to the hunting grounds

and the deer and foxes are wearing their thick winter

furs, that’s when I love to go hunting with the Rott-

weil ® Magnum. It’s the fi rst choice when it is impor-

tant to hit the game spot-on thanks to its heavy load

and excellent patterning.”

The legendary Waidmannsheil Pappe has been around for

almost a century now and it can look back upon a long

tradition. Generations of hunters are familiar with this car-

tridge, which originally used to be produced with a red

and blue case. The constant optimisation process means

that the Waidmannsheil Pappe has developed into one of

the most mature shot cartridges with practically no rivals

amongst the other shot cartridges available.

This cartridge type is characterised by the highest possible

shot weights in calibres 12 and 20. The high shot weight

of the Rottweil Magnum guarantees suffi cient killing force

even at long-range limits. This can be a factor of hunting

success in particular for small game hunting where long-

range shooting is often necessary due to unfavourable

surroundings. The Magnum cartridge may only be used in

shotguns with 76 mm (3”) fi ring chambers.

Waidmannsheil pappe – Masterfully perfected for demanding hunters

Magnum – Particularly powerful for more patterning

THE SPECIAL QUALITIES AT A GLANCE:

• The high shot weight ensures excellent patterning even

for longer distances.

• The black plastic case made of PE is extremely resistant

to moisture.

• The 20 mm brass head makes this cartridge particularly

high quality.

• The cup wad used in the Magnum is extraordinarily

stable and prevents the shot from wear in the barrel.

• The rear-facing part of the wad seals the shot load

against powder gas thanks to the special construction of

the seal lips. Clumping is therefore prevented.

• The guidance of the shot in the cup wad leads to a

tighter shooting pattern.


• The biodegradable cardboard case and intermediate

material made of a cardboard wad and fi bre wad means

that this cartridge is particularly environmentally-friendly.

• The case is also coated with impact-resistant paint that

protects the cartridge against moisture. The cartridges

can be loaded even in damp weather or rain.


high quality.

• The high quality intermediate material combination

of fi bre wad and cardboard wad means that different

choke bores can be better utilised. This has in turn a

positive effect on the patterning.

• The additional cardboard inlay optimally seals off the

powder chamber. This ensures uniform combustion of

the powder.

• The shooting pattern of the Waidmannsheil Pappe is

perfect in every aspect.

“In autumn 2004, I was invited to hunt at an

extremely good pheasant shoot. I took my place with

my Rottweil ® rifl e 700 Sporting shotgun and with

Rottweil ® Jagd braun Streu 2.7 mm in my bags.

The driven pheasants came fl ying over very fast. I

aimed and shot. The pheasants fell like stones from

heaven. The greater patterning of the Rottweil ®

Jagd braun Streu once again led me to an excellent

hunting success.”

Engelbert Schulze-Heil, hunter

“Many of my greatest successes are due to the

Rottweil ® Supertrap 24 HV. The Supertrap 24

HV is extremely fast. That allows optimal triggering

on the pigeon. Missed hits that result from various

forward allowances under different pigeon throwing

distances and wind are reduced here to a minimum.

The Rottweil ® Supertrap 24 HV achieves equally

high speed and top patterning so that the pigeon

safely shatters on the second shot. This is extremely

important for mental strength during competitions. The

excellent patterning is due to the homogenous shot in

this super-fast trap cartridge. For these reasons, I put

my trust in my Rottweil ® Supertrap 24 HV.”

Rottweil was the fi rst shot cartridge manufacturer to have

the idea of using the spreader device originally designed

for clay pigeon shooting. This special variation of the Jagd

braun is ideal for successful shooting over short ranges,

e.g. forest hunting or crossing ducks. Greater patterning of

the shot pattern is achieved with the spreader device.


• The spreader device effects a greater patterning of the

shot pattern up to approx. 25 m.

• The hit probability is greater through the higher

patterning and the venison loss is lower.

• These cartridges have less effect on the environment

because of the degradable cardboard case and fi bre

wad.

• The case is also coated with impact-resistant paint that

protects the cartridge against moisture. The cartridges

can be loaded even in damp weather or rain.

• The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber. This

ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

Amongst shooters, this fast cartridge made a name for itself

since its introduction years ago as a high performance (HV

= High Velocity) cartridge for clay disc shooting. Despite its

speed, the shot is optimally and uniformly distributed. The

HV series is therefore particularly suited for all Olympic

and other clay pigeon shooting disciplines


• The Supertrap 24 HV is extremely fast at 420 m/s. Hit

probability is increased enormously with this speed and

the uniform patterning of the shot.

“I have often been in the situation during small game

driven hunts when the beaters have suddenly called out

about escaping pigs. Up to a fi ring distance of approx.

50 m and complying with all safety measures (target

trap!), I have put my trust for years in the Rottweil ®

Brenneke Classic. It is recommended even for big objects

due to the great cross-section area and high projectile

mass. As my tests have proven, the Brenneke Classic

fi res correctly from most barrels. Game preservation is

good and at short range a ball cartridge is just as good

as a rifl e cartridge. My more than 40 years of experi-

ence with Rottweil ® Brenneke cartridges have always

been positive.”

Werner Reb, hunting journalist, author

(e.g. “JagdwaffenPRAXIS”, “Die Bewegungsjagd”)

These special cartridges are produced in various shot

diameters. Normally known as buckshot they are designed

for specifi c hunting applications and are used in countries

where “rough shooting” is allowed for cloven game. The

use of buckshot can be appropriate especially at short

range and under particular land conditions (e.g. thick

bush).


• This cartridge is designed for special hunting

applications.

• The plastic case made of PE is extremely resistant to

moisture.

• The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber. This

ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

• The transparent case shows the contents at a glance and

prevents the mistaken use of cartridges with buckshot.

This classic hunting cartridge contains the classic slug with

felt wad and can be used up to 50 m. The choke bore

does not infl uence the precision of this cartridge so that it

can be shot from all types of shotguns. This cartridge has

been available for decades in the three main calibres and

case lengths of 67.5 mm (also for shotguns with 65 mm

fi ring chambers) and 70 mm.


• The externally angled, deformable lead ribs adapt to the

different mouth shapes without damaging the barrels.

• The felt wad is permanently attached to the slug and

stabilises the projectile ensuring optimal precision.

• The plastic case made of PE is extremely resistant to

moisture.

• The transparent case shows the contents at a glance

and prevents the mistaken use of cartridges with slug.

• The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber.

This ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

In comparison to conventional lead shot, soft iron shot has

a disadvantage of a lower specifi c weight. Soft iron shot fl ies

slower and not so far with 7.8 g/cm3 compared to 11.0 g/cm3

for lead. In order to compensate the fl ight behaviour and the

energy loss of soft iron shot compared to lead balls, the size

of the soft iron shot must be selected around 2 shot num-

bers higher for the same hunting purpose. In simplifi ed terms:

Instead of a shot cartridge with 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead shot, a

shot cartridge with 3.2 mm (No. 4) soft iron shot must be

used.

How does soft iron shot behave in the barrel?

The general rule for soft iron shot is: “the smaller the shot, the

better it is for the barrel”!

• Cartridges up to 3.25 mm with soft iron shot and a V 2.5

speed of maximum 400 m/s are, according to the C.I.P. * deci-

sion, normal cartridges; they can therefore be used without

reservations in normal fi ring shotguns.

• Shot over 3.25 mm require weapons that can withstand fi ring

with higher pressures (1370 bar) and soft iron shot fi ring. The

choke profi le of the weapon must be at least 60 mm long and

taper off conically and uniformly. Tested weapons are marked

with a lily.

• Shot above 4 mm diameter may only be fi red from weapons

with a throat of ½ choke (max. 0.5 mm).

The shot cups have special signifi cance in soft iron shot car-

tridges. In order to protect the barrel interior from the harder

soft iron shot, the shot cups have thicker walls and are made

of a signifi cantly stronger material.

The fi rst discussions about lead shot,

for and against, took place in the USA.

But the question of “lead shot for

water game” has also been a hot sub-

ject for years in Europe. There is always

the danger in intensively hunted shal-

low water areas that bottom-feeding

water game eats the lead shot and

dies. But lead shot can also affect agricultural areas that are

intensively hunted or clay pigeon shooting stands located in

water protection areas or where shooting takes place near

standing or fl owing water. The leaders here are the Nether-

lands and Denmark: Both countries now only permit soft iron

shot cartridges. Other European countries are also discussing

the avoidance of lead shot and are aiming in the coming years

to stop the use of lead shot almost entirely. A joint recommen-

dation by the Deutschen Jagdschutzverbandes and the Federal

Ministries for consumer protection, nutrition, agriculture and

forestry specifi es complete avoidance of lead shot cartridges

for hunting ducks on water and other waterfowl. In the mean-

time, the states of Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen, Nordr-

hein-Westfalen und Baden-Württemberg have take up this

recommendation and issued decrees

limiting or even completely excluding

the hunting of waterfowl and hunting

on water or shallow waters with lead

shot. It is foreseeable that this devel-

opment will be taken up by further

federal states.

There is only one alternative – soft iron shot

Long-term investigations and tests have shown that soft iron

shot has no toxic effect and that it degrades naturally through

oxidation. This means it has less effect on the environment

when it is deposited in waters, land or plants. The danger of

poisoning is also avoided for low-feeding ducks. Soft iron shot

meets all demands set by the C.I.P. and the S.A.A.M.I. No other

metal currently available as a substitute for lead can meet these

requirements to the same extent.

What is steel shot?

The term “steel shot” is metallurgically seen incorrect, as it is a

soft iron with a very low carbon component. In international eve-

ryday language however, soft iron shot is known as “Steel-Shot”.

What is the effect of soft iron

shot?

The soft iron shot retains its

round form in comparison to

lead shot due to the harder

material characteristics. This

results in a tighter pattern,

which has a shorter length

expansion than lead shot pat-

terns. Because of this, the area

covered at the target is tighten-

What calibres are soft iron shot available in?

The conditions for producing cartridges are set up and

issued by the C.I.P. (perma-

nent international commis-

sion for inspection of hand

weapons). Decrees issued

by the C.I.P. are immediately

transferred into national law

by the C.I.P. member states.

Rottweil offers a comprehen-

sive range of soft iron shot-

shells for hunting which is

being extended bit by bit (in

compliance with further C.I.P. decrees). When using soft

iron shot cartridges, the suitability of the weapon used

must be checked with the proofmark and, if in doubt, a

specialist should be consulted.

H-wad Intermediate material made of plastic. Seals the shot charge from the powder chamber in the case.

Ignition cap See Shot cartridge ignition.

Initial speed The shot speed at the barrel mouth.

Intermediate Is used to seal off the lead shot from the powdermaterial gases and is combined with a shot cup.

Kraft paper Special paper for cardboard cases and wads with extraordinary high strength.

Langenhagener This states that, for huntsman-worthy hunting,Norm the scatter group should be maximum 10 cm

(approx. beer mat size) for 5 shots at 50 m with a Brenneke ball cartridge. The Langenhagener Norm is called after the company location of Brenneke. The barrel inner diameter, the choke bore and its form all have an infl uence on the scatter group diameter.

Lead shot See Shot.

Magnum cartridge Shot cartridge with high shot weight.

Medium ignition A special three-part form of shot cartridge ignition.

Nitrocellulose Powder component

Nitrocellulose This is an offensive or progressive combustingpowder powder. When it is ignited, the extremely small

powder volume converts without much smoke or residue into a large gas volume that provides the cartridge with its fi ring energy. The type and amount of powder is decisive in determining the gas pressure, to a large extent the speed and to some extent the shot pattern scatter, the recoil and the function of the cartridge in self-loading shotguns.

Normal cartridges Term for soft iron shot cartridges with a case length of 70 mm and up to 3.25 mm shot diameter which can be fi red from normal fi ring shotguns.

Offensive powder Extremely rapid (=offensive) combusting powder.

Original Brenneke Ball cartridge made by the company Brenneke,slug which can be shot as individual cartridges

fromshotguns or from shotgun barrels in combined weapons.

Pattern Volume of shot grain that, after leaving the barrel in the form of a cloud (=pattern), continues to fl y and whose length and width expansion continuously increases with the increasing distance.

Patterning Term for the uniform distribution of shot on the test target. In addition to the choke bore, the structure of the cartridge and the shot quality (roundness, uniform diameter) all infl uence coverage. A good coverage is therefore when the least possible boundary shot is present.

Plastic case Prefabricated from axially stretched polyethyl-ene (PE). Polyethylene is, according to technical regulations, not a hazardous substance and can therefore be disposed of in domestic waste/general waste.

Powder gas Gas volume that provides the cartridge with its fi ring energy.

Range See long-range limit.

Recoil Dependent on weight of weapon, shot weight, calibre and type of powder propellant charge.

Roll crimp A shot cartridge crimp closure with a card or plastic wad, held by the crimped case edge (see also Top wad).

Scatter Distance of individual shot grains to one another at target. The greater the scatter, the lower the patterning.

Semi-Magnum Shot cartridge with high shot weight that cancartridges still be used in standard proofed shotguns.

Shot Term for the pellets in the shot cartridge, usually made of a lead alloy, today there are alternative materials, e.g. soft iron.

Shot cartridge Consists of the sheath, anvil, ignition capignition and propellant. Is used to ignite the powder

propellant charge.

Shot charge See Shot weight.

Shot grain number Number system for identifying shot diameter, e.g. no. 5 = 3 mm.

Shot grain size Usually between 2 and 4 mm, in steps of 0.25 mm.

Shot pattern See Pattern.

Shot weight Number of shot grains and total weight.

Slug See also Original Brenneke slug.

Soft iron shot (= Steel shot). Alternative to lead shot that is being legally prescribed due to environmental protection aspects.

Spreader device Cross-shaped plastic insert in shot charge that ensures the shot pattern is formed rapidly after leaving the barrel. Spreader cartridges are used in game hunting, short-range and in skeet shooting.

Steel shot (Also called soft iron shot). Alternative to lead shot that is being legally prescribed due to environmental protection aspects.

Star crimp The mouth end is folded together in a star shape over the shot (also folded crimp).

Subsonic Special cartridges with subsonic speeds andcartridges therefore reduced noise level. Required for

noise-sensitive shooting ranges.

Sulphur antimony (= antimony sulphide), powder component.

Tetrazes Extremely impact-sensitive compound of yellowish, water-insoluble crystals. Is used as initial explosive for the ignition.

Top wad Covers the shot charge in shot cartridges with roll crimps.

Total danger Gives the total fl ight width of the shot, not tozone of the shot be mistaken with long-range limit. Guidelines

in meter: Shot diameter in mm x 100.

Trizinate Lead tri-nitro-resorcinate, used as initial explo-sive for the ignition.

Antimony Alloy component in lead shot (determines the hardness).

Barium nitrate Organic, non-toxic component of the primer.

Base plug Ensures tight fi t of the ignition cap and seals the case, in combination with the case tube and the brass head, towards the rear.

Brass head Made of sheet steel, brass-plated and surface treated against discolouration and corrosion. The brass head connects the case cylinder with the base plug and is appropriately formed around the edge for removal from the barrel.

Brenneke See also Original Brenneke slug.

Calibre The calibre is based on the number of uni-formly round balls, cast from pure lead, that weighs precisely one English pound (= 453.6 g). Calibre 12 therefore is the diameter of a ball made of soft lead where 12 of these balls equal one English pound in weight. The precise diameter is specifi ed in the dimension tables of the fi ring laws.

Cardboard case Produced with several layers of glued, high-quality Kraft paper, which is then calibrated, glazed and painted to protected against mois-ture.

Cardboard wad In combination with the fi bre wad, this seals off the shot cartridge from the powder cham-ber.

Card inlay Restricts the powder chamber and provides the case with additional strength. It consists of several layers of Kraft paper.

Case fl oor Bottom of brass head, into which the calibre and the manufacturer’s mark are imprinted.

Case length Given in mm. This is the full length of the case – not the length of the ready-loaded, crimped cartridge – 65, 67.5, 70 or 76 mm. Crimped cartridges are generally approx. 6 mm shorter with roll crimps and approx. 11 mm shorter with star crimps than the nominal measurement given for case length. The case length 67.5 is developed for use with 65 mm and 70 mm firing chambers. (ATTENTION! Do not use a 70 mm case in a 65 mm fi ring chamber or a 76 mm case in a 70 mm fi ring chamber!)

Case mouth Front aperture of case for inserting powder, intermediate material, shot charge, etc.

Centerfi re ignition Propellant and primer are located in centre of case fl oor.

C.I.P. Commission internationale permanente pour l‘épreuve des armes à feu portatives. Defi nes the dimensions of fi ring chambers, barrels and action distances for weapons, dimensions of cartridges and the maximum gas pressure values for all ammunition types, etc.

Clump formation Produced by the escape of hot powder gases(in lead shot) through the intermediate material into the

shot charge. The direct heat effect on the shot charge leads to the welding together of shot grains, increasing the danger area and worsening patterning.

Contact energy The contact energy is the kinetic or moving energy of the shot at the moment of contact with the target.

Contact speed Speed at which the shot reaches the target.

Covered hit fi eld Term for the hit area in which suffi ciently effec-tive hits are contained depending on the shot size and type of game.

Cup wad Intermediate material. Seals the powder chamber in plastic shot cartridges from the shot charge and encloses the shot charge with a plastic cup that protects the shot from deformation and wear, and also the barrel from lead deposits.

Density Specifi es the relationship of the hit rate in the inner circle to the outer circle of the test target based on the surface unit. (Hit rate in inner circle x 3, divided by the hit rate in the outer circle). Together with coverage and speed, this determines the individual effi ciency limit of the shotgun barrel.

Distribution See Density / Hit percentage.

Dud Cartridges that don’t ignite after fi ring.

Felt wad / Intermediate material, previously made withfi bre wad animal hair (felt), today made with wood fi bre

(fi bre). This seals the powder chamber in shot cartridges with a cardboard wad or H-wad from the shot charge and serves to uniformly eject the shot weight.

Firing distance Hunting shot fi ring distance is at most 40 m, depending on calibre and shot grain size. Above this, scattering is so great that there is not suffi cient coverage. The penetration force and therefore the effective killing effective of the shot decreases very rapidly with increasing shot distance. It depends greatly on the shot grain size, the ballistic data of the cartridge, the bore choke, etc. Soft iron shot has a lower specifi c weight. A distance of max. 35 m should not be exceeded in this case.

Firing pin This hits the ignition cap, igniting the powder.

Folded crimp The mouth end is folded together in a star shape over the shot (also star crimp).

Gas pressure When the powder gas ignites, the pressure rises extremely rapidly due to the great heat development and acts in all directions, i.e. on the case, crimp, barrel wall and wad containing the shot charge or ball cartridge.

High performance These are shot cartridges with soft iron shotcartridges which can only be used in shotguns proofed

for steel shot cartridges.

Hit percentage The number of hits in a 75 cm test area at 35 m test distance in relationship to the total number of shot in the cartridge charge as a ratio.

Particularly suitable / Suitable / Spreader cartridges for short-range

Which shot cartridge is suitable for which game? Not an easy question! The general conditions that need to be taken into account are often very different. These include the type of game, distance, calibre, choke bore, landscape conditions, etc. and the personal preferences of the hunter. Even the hunting laws of individual countries differ and when using steelshot cartridges, different ballistics and greater energy losses must also be taken into account.* This is why the preferable pellet sizes listed in the table can only be recommendations and should not be used instead of personal experience!

Philosophy or science?

* The general rule is: The size of steelshot must be selected approx. 2 shot numbers lower for the same hunting purpose. In simplified terms: Instead of a shot cartridge with 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead shot, a shot cartridge with 3.2 mm (No. 4) steelshot must be used.
