utilizing iron particles at a 50 mesh size (approx. 0.297 mm). This configuration optimizes particle spread and retention of kinetic energy to create an effective and humane deterrent for birds over varying ranges. The 50 mesh iron particles offer an improved balance between energy retention and dispersion compared to finer powders, resulting in enhanced coverage without compromising safety.
These loads are structured across multiple shotgun gauges to suit diverse operational needs, whether for close-proximity deterrence or extended reach applications. To provide control over the spread and distance, each load type—light, standard, and heavy—uses calibrated powder charges, maintaining a wide dispersal pattern that maximizes effectiveness while minimizing the risk of harm. The table below details recommended specifications across different gauges:
