This ammunition is fired from 70mm chamber 12 Bore Gu
n.This cartridge is an improvement on our existing popular br
and"Special" paper cartridges in so far as their constructio
n and perfomance characteristics are concerned. The body is
made up of high density polythylene platic tubes, bi-axially
oriented,to withstand higer pressures and achieve higher
velocity in place of paper crimson.The use of LDPE Power Piston
with pouch in place of paper air-cushion as used in "special"
cartridges,not only provides better gas sealing but results in
achievement and higher accuracy in firing giving a very good
pattern of shots.The cartridge uses non-corrosive caps alongwith
tubular anvils which eliminates occurance of misfires.The use
of smokeless propellant powder give no smoke after firing and
the use of hardended lead shots give a good impact on the target.
The above improved characterstics make these cartridges
suitable not only for use general hunting etc. but also for
"Competition Shooting" . Our "ASTRAM" cartridges have already
found great favour with many renowned shooters in the
competition shooting games.
