Videos tagged with Copper Plated Shot

This video analyzes the differences between various types of buckshot ammunition, categorizing them into three generations. It details how the materials and coatings of the shot influence performance, specifically focusing on deformation and spread. The discussion highlights 1st Gen uncoated lead shot's tendency to flatten, 2nd Gen copper-coated shot's reduced deformation, and 3rd Gen copper-plated and cushioned shot's zero deformation. A specific mention is made of Federal FliteControl technology, which further enhances shot control with an advanced wad cup design that keeps the shot payload together for a longer duration after firing compared to conventional wads.

This video provides a first look at the new Winchester AA Diamond Grade 20 Gauge shotshells. Jimmy Wilson from Winchester explains that the Diamond Grade line features 8% antimony alloyed with lead to create harder shot, which resists deformation for rounder projectiles and more consistent patterns. The 20 gauge version also includes copper-plated shot and a high nickel head as a visual indicator of the Diamond Grade quality. The load is intended for elite competition shooters seeking tighter patterns.

Winchester introduces AA Diamond Grade ammunition, an upgrade to their trusted AA line for target shooters. This new offering features significantly harder shot due to an increased antimony content (8% vs. 6% in standard AA and 2% in typical target loads), which promotes rounder shot, straighter flight, and tighter patterns. The shot is also copper-plated for enhanced performance, particularly appealing to sporting clays shooters seeking to crush targets at longer distances. The ammunition retains the legendary AA wad and a high nickel-plated head for reliable feeding.
