2016年5月17日 · In an earlier post you said "One thing you'll notice about high antimony shot, if you weigh your reloads (and you should) is that for a given bushing or charge bar, the higher antimony shot will weigh slightly less than chilled shot. Lead is denser than antimony, so as the antimony percentage goes up, the density of the metal goes down".

2025年1月2日 · Lead shot pellet hardness is established by the amount of antimony alloyed with the lead in the pellets and is varied by the manufacturer depending on the purpose for which the shotshell is designed. Hardness increases as the antimonial content increases. Shot containing up to 0.5% antimony is generally called “soft shot”.

2018年2月6日 · Because the question presented is not whether Eagle is "equivalent to 5% antimony," the question is whether, Eagle shot, in fact, has 4.5-5% antimony in it. Cabelas is not saying Eagle's hardness is "equivalent" to some amount of antimony and has some other metal alloyed with lead to give it equivalent hardness.

1998年1月28日 · For instance, both West Coast and Lawrence (both made by the same people) say their shot has "Equivalent Hardness Factor of 4-6% Antimonial Lead Alloy" which, to me, does not disclose the actual amount of antimony, if any, in their shot. I've seen some materials (Brownell's, Zip Metals) saying Eagle shot has 4.5-5% antimony.

2016年9月25日 · From 16 yards and Short yardage low antimony shot in tight chokes works pretty for the most part but, once you get farther back towards "The Fence" It begins to really make a difference. That is why the pros who shoot from the 27 all …

2016年4月1日 · At its peak, antimony was well above $5/lb. Lead shot manufacturers started using lower cost metals to harden shot. This is the reason so many have switched to "4-5% Antimony equivalent hardness" when describing magnum shot.

2024年6月23日 · Mayco states that their Lawrence Magnum and West Coast shot contain 4% Antimony. And a Pycnometer measured density of 10.82 g/CC agrees with this (or actually with closer to 4.2%). Mayco is apparently currently test run trialing 'Mayco-6' …

2018年2月28日 · The second post ought to have been the tip off for everyone reading. Top Guns have "Hard Shot" and Gold Medals have "Extra Hard Shot". Top Guns have 4% Antimony according to jhunts post and I don't quibble with that number. I do quibble with the claim that Gold Medal, Top Gun, atc. all have the same shot. G.M. shot has ~6% Antimony.

2023年2月25日 · And states its 6% which is actually harder than the current shot lawrence is putting out. Same price as eagle shot 49$ 25 lbs- the bags are a little suspect- had a guy open a bag and the plastic liner inside was coming apart- I have #8 and # 7.5 right now- can also get # 9 in the future - too bad they don't offer # 6.
