Angelo Pilli "Dispersanti" cartridges: The genius of Angelo Pilli and his creation, the dispersant cartridge.
This invention greatly improved rifle operation and cartridge performance. The Pilli cartridges, through the amplifier, are able to generate a pattern already amplified at ten meters and homogeneous even at long distances.
An idea comes from curiosity, from the passion for something you want to deepen, from a need. Angelo Pilli had all these peculiarities, which led him to invent the dispersant cartridge.
This cartridge is the result of the passion for hunting and the great ingenuity of Angelo Pilli, who from childhood showed great involvement in everything that revolved around game and hunting rifles. The adventure of this hunting genius began in 1938, when Mr. Pilli took over a small arms and ammunition shop in the center of his village, in Nocera Umbra in the province of Perugia.
The management of that shop meant for many passionate hunters of those areas, to relate to Angelo Pilli who always lent himself to giving advice for hunting and telling fantastic hunts in which he had participated. Precisely the continuous exchange of information between Pilli and his hunting friends led him to think and design something new, different that could improve the functioning of the rifles and the performance of the cartridges.
The question: “A cartridge to be complete, how did it have to be? What was it supposed to cause when the shot was fired? Which grouping was needed to optimize performance?
These questions led Angelo Pilli to conceive a cartridge with an amplifier, which he patented in the following years and which, above all, revolutionized the hunting world up to the present day.
The use of the Pilli cartridge has thus expanded throughout Italy and in hunting trips abroad, thanks to its ballistic characteristics. Specifically, the amplifier is a device that allows you to characterize a cartridge capable of amplifying the pattern in a homogeneous way. This solution generates a pattern already amplified at ten meters and homogeneous even at long distances.
The tests to which the cartridges were subjected showed this performance at different distances. Several shots were fired from 10, 20 and 30 meters to test that the pattern remains open and homogeneous right away, while remaining very compact even over long distances. The Angelo Pilli company produces various types of cartridges with dispersant: bullet cartridges, cartridges for small game and cartridges for clay shooting.
The first type of cartridges is loaded with MB powder, flakes case and 32gr Gualandi bullet, to ensure superior shooting accuracy. The second type is loaded using 30 gr. of lead from 9 to 11 in Type 1 flakes cases. The powders used go to Sidna, JK6 and MB to guarantee exceptional quality and reliability to our cartridges.
The last type of cartridges, unlike the others of the production, are loaded with the usual kemira powder, with 28 gr. 7,5 lead and Type 4 Fiocchi case. Finally, the Pilli company also caters to hunters who wish to load their shotguns with classic cartridges, whose construction is manual, have a round edge and are subjected to strict controls for test its effectiveness and safety.
The Angelo Pilli, through the dispersant cartridge and the amplifier, has conquered the hearts of all Italian hunters. Only Italian inspiration and genius can push the Italian arms sector towards new horizons.
Angelo Pilli contributes to this aim with its products. Research and development of new solutions are the keystone for competitive and unique products, even at an international level.
