If you are in the market for copper coated shot this game season, look no further than Eley Hawk, which has options for all scenarios.
The coated shot has been at the forefront of shotgun cartridge technology since the 1950s, with manufacturers testing metals such as copper, nickel, and gold.Leading such innovations, Eley Hawk has worked with copper-coated shot since 1992. The first of its product range to incorporate the technology was the Classic Game paper case, with the latest being the Zenith.
Due to the harder compound of the element, copper reduces pellet deformation as the shot goes down the barrel and through the choke of the gun. This ensures it maintains a superior pattern during flight, resulting in more shot-on-target and a bigger impact on the quarry, delivering clean kills and impressive stopping power at all ranges.
