IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR USE

Tungsten (Wolfram) shot is heavier than lead and steel shot, so it has greater penetration and penetration depth. Shooting ranges are up to half as long again compared to lead or steel. Always maintain a greater safety distance from fellow hunters when using cartridges loaded with tungsten shot. Tungsten is a hard shot material and may pose a ricochet risk when fired. Hard tungsten shot can cause barrel wear or scratches if barrel contact occurs. Before use, ensure that your firearm is compatible with steel shot; these cartridges are not recommended for use in firearms equipped with 3/4-choke or full-choke chokes. To achieve optimal pattern and minimize recoil, it is recommended to shoot with 1/4–1/2-choke chokes.

BORNAGHI is an Italian shotgun cartridge manufacturer founded in 1960.
