Lead cartridges with grease wad: versatility and efficiency at short range

Lead shot cartridges with a felt wad are distinguished by their ability to produce a more open shot pattern immediately after leaving the barrel. Unlike a wad with a plastic skirt, the felt wad does not contain the shot, which promotes rapid dispersion, particularly suited to close-range shooting.

An ideal ammunition for hunting in enclosed areas

Felt wad cartridges are widely used for woodland hunting , walked-up shooting , and small game at close range. They allow for rapid target acquisition and increase the chances of success in dense cover. Brands like RWS , Sologne , and Winchester offer reliable and consistent loads.

Respect for specific environments and uses

Felt wad cartridges are often preferred in certain contexts due to their limited environmental impact, particularly in sensitive areas. They also meet the preferences of hunters seeking more traditional ballistic performance.

Calibers and ammunition selection

Available in various gauges (12, 16, 20 gauge, etc.) and with different lead loads, these cartridges are suitable for a wide range of uses. Manufacturers like Remington and Sologne offer diverse product lines, allowing you to tailor your choice to the game and hunting conditions.

Choose a cartridge that is suitable for your weapon

It is essential to select a cartridge compatible with your shotgun and suited to your hunting style. The choice of choke , shooting distance, and type of game are all determining factors. Consulting a gunsmith ensures safety and effectiveness, in compliance with French regulations.
