You can drop a 12 gauge shell into the tube - shot end first - and the only thing that keeps the round from falling into the the spreader tube is the extreme outer ring of the brass base of the shell.<<<br /><br />Hmmmm, interesting. So how does it spread the pattern?Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-83483425783773170502007-01-19T07:15:00.000-06:002007-01-19T07:15:00.000-06:00And maybe if a bull frog had wings and packed a 45...And maybe if a bull frog had wings and packed a 45 he wouldn't bump his but when he hopped or be scared of snakes.<br /><br />The spreader tube does not constrict anything.

The shot charge expands to fill the opening, and then the recompression tends to deform pellets on the outside of the shot charge.<br /><br />The deformed pellets tend to "tumble" and spread radially quicker than the pellets in the core of the shot charge. You can regulate your pattern density somewhat with harder or softer shot, buffered shot, etc.<br /><br />There's a gunsmith up in Monroe named Marvin Williamson that makes some good ones - calls 'em his "magic barrels."Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-31379769990333134772007-01-18T15:27:00.000-06:002007-01-18T15:27:00.000-06:00Cutts makes a unit that looks exactly like the pol...Cutts makes a unit that looks exactly like the poly in addition to the tubes.

Tubes work well the 12 works well for a single shot - never can remember to pump the thing. Guess I shot the A5 too long.<br /><br />I was going to become the consumate duck hunter with a pump shotgun. Yea right. All I do is try and bend the trigger on the second shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
