TSS is used as the shot for hunting shells. The pellets spread upon leaving the barrel, and the power of the burning charge is divided among the pellets, which means that the energy of any one ball of shot is fairly low. In a hunting context, the product makes shotguns useful primarily for hunting birds and other small games. Tungsten shot properties: Its benefits come from the fact that it is denser than any other shot material, including lead, steel or bismuth. To understand how the density factors into performance, let's look at two spheres about the same size, a golf ball and a ping-pong ball. The golf ball is far denser and will fly farther and hit harder. Now reduce that size down to two single pellets, one steel and the other a tungsten alloy. Get the result. The tungsten will fly farther, hit harder and penetrate deeper. That means more birds, farther out, with fewer cripples.
AGESCAN plant maintains strict manufacturing standards and controls from raw materials to manufacturing including lot and batch control in full compliance with specifications and standards such as ISO 9001-2015 , ASTM B777-07OEM Specifications to supply finest Tungsten shot pellets for our world-class hunting ammo manufacturers.
