“Shotgun Report Technoid” Bruce Buck Answers Questions

Whigham, GA – At Trulock Choke Tubes, we know our customers have many questions on patterning with differing shot sizes, shot column length and load size, do buffered loads help and more, which is why an article by the Shotgun Report Technoid, Bruce Buck titled, “Bunch of Questions,” hit the proverbial nail on customer questions. We reached out to Bruce and received permission to reprint the article to share. It was originally posted on the Shotgun Report on September 14, 2021.

Dear Technoid,

Perhaps this frisky little question is worthy of the Volcano of Knowledge? Actually, a couple of questions:

1) Will smaller size shot, say #8 or 7-1/2, deform more or less than #4 shot, in example, affecting patterning adversely?

2) Will a 1 oz. lead charge deform more in a smaller gauge, 16 or 20, due to the longer “stack height” of the pellets?

3) Is height of the pellet stack a minus re: 3? and 3-1/2? magnum loads?

4) Has the Technoid found any evidence that buffered loads do any good?

5) The Omnipotent Technoid has stated that copper-plated shot seems to slide its way through game, proving less effective than lead. Does the copper do much re: reduction in pellet deformation?

6) And finally (are you glad!), can the Technoid speculate as to the rise and fall of the popularity of the 16 gauge? Just picked up an A-5 Sweet Sixteen, and really enjoy popping clays with it.

7) Oops, one more – can the Technoid recall approximate shot cloud sizes at forty yards for 1 oz. launched through 12, 16, and 20 ga., assuming “modified” choke performance?

Thanks Bruce, for all your help!

Big Daddy Unlimited Offers M781 40MM “Chalk” Rounds, Grenade Launchers

Citizens can legally purchase and own grenade launchers, 40mm “chalk rounds,” and specialty ammo.

Gainesville, FL – Big Daddy Unlimited is proud to announce it now sells grenade launchers, barrels, and 40mm rounds to private citizens through Big Daddy Ordnance (BDO).

The M781 “chalk round” is a 40x46mm round designed to mimic the flight path of the M433 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose round.

“Bringing the M781s to market through Big Daddy Ordnance represents a decisive change in how 40mm ammunition is distributed for the civilian market,” said Sean Lindley, Government & International Sales Director. “Previously, ammunition only arrived on the civilian market from military overruns.”

Despite supply-chain-related issues for .38 S&W blanks, Big Daddy Unlimited has been able to leverage its position to have new production rounds manufactured. The goal is for Big Daddy Unlimited to always have M781s and other specialty munitions including 37mm and 40mm in stock and ready to ship to customers. In addition to specialty rounds, Big Daddy Unlimited sells destructive devices including grenade launchers and barrels as well as “less-lethal” ammunition to civilians and law enforcement. Read more
