This is an old technique to open patterns. The idea goes back at least as far as the 1950s... maybe even the 1930s. But "flat shot" doesn't meter well. Shot dividers were an easier solution... and the stuff flies more true.

Some small cartridge companies produce ammo with deformed and/or cut shot. One that comes to mind is "The Square Shot Co.". Theirs is produced from sheets of lead cut into cubes. I think flattening round shot would produce certainly wider, but inconsistent, patterns but I've never tried the stuff.

Orvis sold spreader loads with flat shot ,I still have a box or 2, I think it was 10 or more years ago. I found it really sliced up the bird. The best I have found is Polywad, either there loaded shells or reloads using there polywad.
