60 Seconds With Michael McIntosh

| ‍Sept. 22, 2026 Â
Even when the shot charge is held to optimum level, too much powder produces its own sort of overload. This probably doesn’t wreck patterns quite as badly as too much shot does, but a heavy powder charge doesn’t confer any advantage. It’s a fact of shotgun ballistics that the faster you drive pellets out of the muzzle, the faster they slow down once in the air. The way to get more punch and more reach is to use heavier pellets, not more powder. Â
This tip came from the book “Shotguns and Shooting” by Michael McIntosh.  Â
