Soft iron shotshells for shooter preferring lead-free shots

ROTTWEIL STEEL GAME HV

The fast soft iron cartridge

ROTTWEIL have expanded their assortment of soft iron cartridges by adding an HV load. This lead-free cartridge with CIP-approved soft iron shot differentiates itself from the Rottweil Steel Game through its higher velocity (HV). It transmits more energy to the target at longer shooting ranges. The ROTTWEIL STEEL GAME HV with soft iron shot is non-toxic and is therefore suitable for waterfowling. For shooters wanting a fast cartridge capable of long-distance performance, the ROTTWEIL STEEL GAME HV with soft iron shot is also environmentally friendly. Only for use in barrels with 70 mm (2¾ in.) chambers and bearing magnum proof marks!

Tips And Information On Soft Iron Shot

Due to their lower density of 7.8 g/cm³ compared to 11.0 g/cm³ with lead, soft iron shot pellets fly slower and not as far. In order to compensate for the loss of velocity and energy of soft iron shot versus lead shot, one must choose a shot size two numbers larger than what one would normally use. In concrete terms, use a soft iron load with 3.25 mm (No. 4) pellets instead of a 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead load.
