Mild Steel Shot

Mild Steel shot refers to spherical grains made from molten steel through an atomization process, available in several sizes and hardnesses. These cast steel shots are available in different sizes & hardness. Steel shots are manufactured from steel scrap.

Why Mild steel shots are used for?

Mild Steel retains less energy and may not kill birds cleanly at the same ranges. Steel with equivalent weight and shot size contains more pellets than lead, making loads that contain more shot than necessary. Compensate for the lighter weight by employing a shot one or two sizes larger than the lead shot size.

Classification of steel shots

Basis	Steel Shots	Solid Steel Shots
Raw Material	Basis raw material has lower physical property & composition	Raw Material is of exact composition without any material defect (blow holes, porosity, shrinkage, etc.), and wear out nominally during its use.
Hardness	Various a lot(40-50 HRC)	Marginal variation(50-52 HRC)
Dust	High Dust Generation	No dust generation
Grain Size	Varies a lot	No variation
Performance Consistency	Lower consistency as size & hardness varies a lot	High consistency as size & hardness have no variation
Time Consumption	Higher Consumption	Reduces time for shot blasting
Inventory Cost	Higher inventory due to high consumption, more money & space required	Saves on inventory cost, eventually reducing operating cost
