Notes on Each Gauge:
- 12 Gauge: Best suited for moderate to heavy deterrent loads due to its higher capacity for both powder and particle loads, making it effective at longer ranges.
- 16 Gauge: A versatile option that offers a good balance between spread and range. Common in European hunting and bird deterrent contexts.
- 20 Gauge: Known for being lighter and easier to handle, making it suitable for closer-range deterrent applications.
- 28 Gauge: Ideal for short-range deterrent due to its lower recoil and capacity, typically for distances under 30 meters.
Important Considerations
- Testing and Customization: Load performance can vary based on powder type, shell type, and even environmental conditions. Testing in a controlled environment is essential.
- Safety First: Always consult a reloading manual and verify with experts, especially when using alternative materials like fine iron particles.
This table serves as a starting point; precise adjustments may be necessary depending on the equipment and specific needs. For more details on load specifications, consult reputable reloading sources or professional guidance.
MicroShield Balanced Impact 50
MicroShield Balanced Impact 50 is crafted to deliver a controlled, safe balance of heat and dispersion for pyrotechnic and training purposes. Designed with 50 mesh-sized iron pellets, it provides non-lethal applications with optimized safety in controlled environments, ideal for training rounds and pyrotechnics. Composed of small, durable steel spheres approximately 0.1 mm in diameter, these pellets feature a low-carbon magnesium alloy, enhancing their durability while reducing the likelihood of unintended ignition. With an apparent density of 4.3 g/cc, this spherical steel powder is approximately 95% individual spheres, with the remaining particles being either spheroid or clusters of multiple spheres. Its uniform, dark gray color ensures easy identification, while its particle size ensures consistent performance for less-lethal use.
Key Features
- 50 mesh iron pellet size for optimal control
- Low carbon magnesium alloy for reduced ignition risk
- Approximately 95% spherical individual particles
- Dark gray color for easy visual identification

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:
