Tungsten For Hunting Shot

Tungsten For Hunting Shot

Hunting is the practice of killing or trapping any living organism, or pursuing it with the intent of doing so. Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, or trade. In present-day use, lawful hunting is distinguished from poaching, which is the killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species contrary to applicable law.

Hunting shot is a collective term for small balls or pellets. Tungsten is an environmentally friendly, durable and hard material, its most important property is its density of 19.25g/cm3, which is just about the same density as gold (19.3g/cm3). The common understanding of tungsten alloy shapes means it, but in fact, different component, production technology, and application, calls for different the product. High density, great hardness and resistance to high temperature make tungsten alloy to be one of the most sought-after materials for shotgun pellets in history. The density of tungsten is about 18g/cm3, only gold, platinum, and a few other rare metals have a similar density. It is denser than any other shot material, including lead, steel or bismuth.
