Lawrence Copper-Plated Lead Shot (10 lb)

Lawrence Copper-Plated Lead Shot (10 lb)

Lawrence copper-plated lead shot starts with a highly polished lead core, which is alloyed with antimony to increase hardness. It is then plated with copper to enhance overall pellet hardness and spherical quality. This results in tighter patterns and deeper game penetration.

Comparing Magnum, Chilled and Plated Lead Shot:
Plated shot is always superior for game loads because of better penetration and energy-transfer qualities. Plated shot also generally produces tighter patterns. Chilled lead shot is slightly softer than magnum lead shot (i.e., shot that has been alloyed with higher concentrations of antimony). Many shotgunners prefer harder magnum shot for its ability to retain a more consistent spherical form. Because chilled lead shot contains lower concentrations of antimony, which is lighter than lead, the resulting chilled shot pellet is denser than magnum shot. 

• Magnum is harder and slightly less dense (magnum shot is not as dense or "heavy" as chilled lead shot).
• Chilled is softer and slightly denser (chilled lead shot is slightly softer than magnum shot, but it is denser or "heavier," given the same volume).
• The highest quality shot is lead shot plated with a copper or nickel plating.

Size: #4, 5, 6, and 7-1/2 (NOTE: These are approximate pellet counts and sizes. Actual measurements may vary.)
Specifications: Acceptable industry tolerances apply; expect slight variances in shot counts and diameters due to production differences.
