LOW TOXICITY SHOT PELLETS

摘要

Shot for shotgun cartridges is made from finely divided particles of dense metal such as a mixture of tungsten and molybdenum, bound by a matrix which may comprise ethylene propylene copolymer, or a blend of a terpolymer of ethylene, acrylic ester and maleic anhydride or an monomer either alone or blended with such terpolymer or with a stock polymer material or a blend of polymers. Shot may be produced from such material by forming it into a strip, web or strand which is passed between aligned rollers with cooperating hemispherical indentations and thereafter punching the resulting shot from the resulting thin web.
