This guide details the process of dissecting a 20 Gauge shotgun shell to examine its internal components, including lead shot, a plastic wad, and gunpowder. It then demonstrates loading and firing these shells in a pump-action shotgun during a live-fire session. The content is presented by Misha, a firearms enthusiast and content creator, offering practical insights into ammunition construction and safe firearm operation.
This video explains that over-constricting lead shot through a shotgun choke tube can negatively impact pattern performance. Excessive constriction can deform the lead pellets, disrupting their aerodynamics and causing them to fly erratically, leading to flyers and a less effective pattern. The speaker recommends patterning your shotgun with different choke tubes and ammunition to find the optimal combination for your setup.
This video demonstrates the careful disassembly of a vintage 12 Gauge shotgun shell, including weighing the lead shot (26.91g) and assessing the powder. The process involves replacing the primer before loading the shell into a side-by-side shotgun for firing at an outdoor range. The presenter, identified as an Ammunition Enthusiast and Collector, showcases knowledge of vintage ammunition storage and safety-conscious testing.
This guide details the deconstruction of a Baschieri & Pellagri MB Feltro Tricolor 12 gauge shotgun shell. It covers weighing the shot (33.0g) and powder (1.8g), identifying components like the felt wad and paper casing, and measuring individual shot pellets.
