THE2018 edition of the Trophy "The best cartridge in 16" organized by Club Calibro 16 has just ended with a confirmation. It was again to win Fabio Volpi, who repeated the triumph of last year, resulting the best ever. The appointment has reached its fourth edition and foresees the home loading of the hunting cartridge. After the first edition dedicated to the ounce, the 31 grams for the hare and the 29 grams for the gray partridge, this time it was decided to move to a complicated upload, 30 grams for the woodcock.
The main difficulties of the cartridge in question are related to the fact that it hits close and spreads quickly. Five criteria were evaluated, that is pressure, velocity, concentration, distribution and penetration. Volpi excelled with a cartridge loaded with a specific set-up. The T2 case was made of Cheddite brand plastic (70 mm high).
In addition to the primer (Cheddite CX1000) and the powder (Tecna N, 1,50 grams), we must not forget the cross-lead disperser divided by the cork by two millimeters into 26 + 4 grams. To complete the cartridge, the stellar closure, the height of 56,4 mm at the end of the work and the tempered lead have thought about it. The appointment is now set for 2019.
