Tungsten Super Shot will eliminate the need for a big bore

[Southpaw]

Jerry I have a question for you and maybe you accounted for and mentioned it and I missed it somewhere.

Since you have rigged up your own loads do you think the diameter of the shot in shell with your double wad of say 20 & 28 gauge reduces the load diameter so its about the same or smaller than the choke constriction. I am guessing the double wad maybe does this plus also gives enough cushion because that tungsten is not going to give very much when pressed thru a forcing cones and a barrel choke.

First, I didn't rig up my own load. These were developed and tested for/by Hal, who also provided the pressure. All of the loads he has provided to me are low pressure.

As far as constriction, this is no different than shooting steel in a very thick wad. It still gets compressed and since not a single shot gets deformed, the patterns are great. Look at the picture I provided of the one ounce 20 gauge through a standard full choke at 40 yards. That pattern would kill every time at 40, and probably 50 yards. There were 24 hits in just the head and neck areas.

I appreciate that clarification and understood you were following a formula. Also understood your pattern boards that you shared which backs up everything I have seen and read about tungsten and performance qualities.

Did not realize it was also a lower pressure load. Thanks for followup.
