Thanks for the photos. I'm gonna need to find a guy at the ATF lab with a high speed camera and convince him it's important to test this and get a photo of the wad actually passing through the shot. (The lab is right down the street from me).
GAH! :rt th
LD
OR , better yet , start collecting the writings from the likes of Greener and Pope .
be on the look out for old Lyman shotgun books even if they are about breech loaders . the reason is that many of these also carry large sections on BP both cartradge and muzzleloading .
they will give you tons of useful date to work with and consider .
i cant seem to find the photos i wanted but here is a couple for you as well as a slow motion clay shoot video . now most of the shots in this vedio are with shot cups from modern guns . but there are are a coupel without cups around the ,49 mark and further into the video .
but notice also , how long the shot gup stays with the shot even when it opens up
yet another fun video . granted modern guns . but take notice of the diffrence between the use of shot cups and thos with just wads and wads with cups
some other fun photos
annnnnnnnnnd
