Videos tagged with Over Pressure

This video explains why using overly tight choke tubes with steel shot can negatively impact shotgun patterns and potentially damage the firearm. Steel shot's inability to deform like lead causes it to fight the choke, leading to over-pressure situations and erratic flyers. The explanation details how the steel compresses and then expands upon exiting the barrel, inducing forces that disrupt the flight path.
