Cheddite: Palla Maremmana and Palla Maremmana Special by Cheditte Italy intended for wild boar hunting. Power and reliability are guaranteed by a company that has over 100 years of history.
In the previous article we dealt with wild boar hunting cartridges from another Italian company. The purpose of this article, in addition to informing readers about the characteristics of the product, is to make our readers develop an opinion by comparing cartridges. Obviously the latter must be tested in action to confirm or not what is written, but documenting yourself first is not wrong. However, the purpose of this site is to present Italian products, at a time when they are suffering from foreign competition.
As always, it is necessary to make a brief reference to the company that produces the cartridges, in order to give more information about the processes for making the products in question.
Cheditte Italy is a historic company that, over time, has always guaranteed the reliability of its products, through tradition combined with new technologies suitable for production.
Cheditte Italy has over a hundred years of history in the cartridge sector behind it. History that means tradition and passion, as happens for most Italian companies. This company has always made its products with the awareness of creating reliable cartridges with high ballistic performance, capable of arousing new emotions in those who use them. The primers, shells, powders and wads are the result of a manufacturing process that combines tradition and new technologies. For this reason, Cheddite, having factories both in Italy and in France, has chosen to independently manufacture every single component up to the cartridge.
Clerinox primers are made through a complex process that consists in the molding of all the metal parts with millesimal tolerances up to the production of the explosive mixture which is the heart of the primer itself.
The industrial process for the realization of Cheddite cases begins with the melting of the polyethylene in grains, and then continues with its transformation into a tube of the desired diameter and thickness, the molding of the metal part of the bottom and finally the assembly of the tube, primer, caseback and buscione.
Cheddite powders for mixing powders obtained with a process of modification of chemical reactants.
Finally, the union of the wads and the buscioni through the fusion of the polyethylene in grains and subsequent hot molding.
The loading of the cartridges and the assembly of the single components can then take place: case, wad, powder and lead are combined to give life to the cartridge. This is the way I work at Cheditte Italy.
Now we describe the Maremmana 12 gauge ball and the Maremmana Special ball, listing all their characteristics.
Both are made and designed specifically for hunting wild boar, with the peculiar sphere shape that ensures excellent reliability.
The Palla Maremmana is a 12 gauge, with a 20 mm high caseback, a 70 mm case and a CX2000 primer.
The weight of the lead is 27 g and the closure has a round edge.
As for the Maremmana Special Ball, this is designed for the most demanding hunters. We are always talking about a 12 gauge, with the same measurements as the bottom and case of the cartridge described above. What distinguishes the Special is the CX50 trigger, the weight of 54 and the stellar closure. It also has a double sphere that certainly has a greater stopping power but during wild boar hunting in Italy it is forbidden as it is not possible to use the broken ammunition.
However, both cartridges guarantee equal reliability and performance. What differentiates them are the weight numbers and the double sphere used in the Special, which will give different results in terms of impact.
We remind our friends Cacciatori that the product is described for the cultural elevation of our readers since the use of the Maremmana Special Ball in Italy is forbidden during wild boar hunts.
