PRODUCT OVERVIEW

More Performance Through Higher Density

Tungsten alloy shot provides significantly higher density compared with traditional steel shot.

The higher density enables ammunition designers to optimize pellet energy, pattern density, shot volume and loading configuration. SDBALLS supplies tungsten alloy shot with controlled size, spherical consistency and customer-defined specifications for specialty ammunition programs.

MATERIAL & PERFORMANCE PROFILE

Five controls for a qualified high-density shot program.

Density creates the opportunity; composition, dimension, sphericity, surface condition and lot control make the material measurable and repeatable.

01 / MATERIAL

Tungsten Heavy Alloy

Typical W-Ni-Fe and W-Ni-Cu material systems are available, with composition reviewed according to customer requirements and the approved specification.

02 / DENSITY

High Density Performance

Typical density is 14–18 g/cm³, providing a higher-density material platform than traditional steel shot for premium applications.

03 / SHOT SIZE

Controlled Shot Dimensions

Common hunting and specialty sizes are available in an approximate 2.0–5.0 mm range. Customized sizes are reviewed by project.

04 / PRECISION

Controlled Sphericity

Control focuses on diameter consistency, roundness, surface condition and batch-to-batch consistency.

05 / SURFACE

Surface Performance

Available conditions include polished, ground and customer-defined surface requirements.

CONTROLLED SHOT DIMENSIONS

Multiple sizes for customer-defined loading programs.

Typical project discussions cover an approximate 2.0–5.0 mm range. Final nominal size, distribution, tolerance and inspection method are established through the approved specification.

  • Controlled nominal diameter and size distribution
  • Customer-defined tolerance and roundness criteria
  • Qualification quantities and production-lot planning
  • Custom size review for specialty programs

DENSITY COMPARISON

Why Choose Tungsten Alloy Shot?

The higher density of tungsten alloy allows smaller pellets to maintain performance compared with lower-density materials, providing ammunition developers with more flexibility in pellet selection and loading design.
