Impact Resistance of Plastic Shotgun Shell Wadding
For this testing we used an HST with High Energy Option; instrumented tup, data acquisition system and HST Impact software. A custom fixture that would support the plastic wad as closely as possible to its finished application was constructed. The fixture had a small through hole in the bottom to allow the tup insert to pass completely through the wad. A custom tup insert was made to simulate the primer charge. The High Energy Option was used so that the crosshead could be fired at a high velocity in hopes of simulating the amount of force that the bottom of the wad would see in its final use.
