Rottweil Semi Magnum
- Extra patterning for normal shotguns
This cartridge is particularly suitable for the special demands of small game hunting thanks to
the highest possible shot weight. The Magnum
cartridge may only be used in shotguns with 76
mm (3”) firing chambers.
This semi-magnum charge has been developed to offer hunters a higher shot weight for
normal firing shotguns with a firing chamber of
70 mm.
The inner ballistic has been specially developed
for these conditions.

Extremely high-quality shot cartridges that have
been continually developed over decades. The
cardboard case is extra wear-proof and painted
to be more impact-resistant. Improved over
the past years with the intermediate material
combination of cardboard wad and fibre wad,
it is extremely stable due to the structure with
the card inlay in the base.
The extremely high quality plastic design of the
legendary Waidmannsheil Pappe is another real
success product in the Rottweil shot cartridge
range. The particularly high speed, combined
with the heavy shot weight held in the cup

Rottweil Special 20 HV
- Fast cartridges for 20 gauge shotguns
Hunting of small game requires smaller shot
sizes. The reduced shot weight of 30 g enables
high firing success over the entire hunting day.
The higher speed (HV = High Velocity) used for
rapidly approaching flying game such as e.g.
red-legged partridges, increases the hit rate
and therefore hunting success.
This is the alternative for lovers of 20 shotguns,
who usually hunt fast flying game coming from
far off. The higher speed (HV = High Velocity)
of the shot weight held in the cup wad offers
great performance even at long-range – without affecting the uniform distribution of the
shot.

Rottweil Magnum
- Particularly powerful for more patterning
This cartridge with the “Gold” projectile has
a special acrylic/brass coating to reduce lead
wear inside the barrel. The extremely heavy
projectile weighing 39 g (= 600 gr) transfers
correspondingly high energy to the target. An
extremely high hit accuracy up to 100 m is
achieved by the twist stabilisation from rifled
shotgun barrels. When used in smooth barrels,
this should be restricted for safety reasons to
cylinder bores. This Magnum cartridge may
only be used in shotguns with 76 mm firing
chambers.
The “Bronze” projectile has a lower weight.
“MP” (= multiple purpose) indicates the versatility of this cartridge, i.e. it is suitable both
for smooth and rifled shotgun barrels. The precision has been significantly improved by the
optimised tail section. There are no limitations
with regards to choke designs.

Clump formation Produced by the escape of hot powder gases
(in lead shot)
through the intermediate material into the
shot charge. The direct heat effect on the
shot charge leads to the welding together of
shot grains, increasing the danger area and
worsening patterning.
Shotshells from A-Z
Antimony
Alloy component in lead shot (determines the
hardness).
Barium nitrate
Organic, non-toxic component of the primer.
Base plug
Ensures tight fit of the ignition cap and seals
the case, in combination with the case tube
and the brass head, towards the rear.
Brass head
Made of sheet steel, brass-plated and surface
treated against discolouration and corrosion.
The brass head connects the case cylinder
with the base plug and is appropriately
formed around the edge for removal from the
barrel.
Brenneke
See also Original Brenneke slug.
Calibre
The calibre is based on the number of uniformly round balls, cast from pure lead, that
weighs precisely one English pound (= 453.6
g). Calibre 12 therefore is the diameter of a
ball made of soft lead where 12 of these balls
equal one English pound in weight. The precise
diameter is specified in the dimension tables
of the firing laws.

The contact energy is the kinetic or moving
energy of the shot at the moment of contact
with the target.
Contact speed
Speed at which the shot reaches the target.
Covered hit field
Term for the hit area in which sufficiently effective hits are contained depending on the shot
size and type of game.
Cup wad
Density
Produced with several layers of glued, highquality Kraft paper, which is then calibrated,
glazed and painted to protected against moisture.
In combination with the fibre wad, this seals
off the shot cartridge from the powder chamber.
Restricts the powder chamber and provides
the case with additional strength. It consists
of several layers of Kraft paper.
Dud
Cartridges that don’t ignite after firing.
Felt wad /
fibre wad
Intermediate material, previously made with
animal hair (felt), today made with wood fibre
(fibre). This seals the powder chamber in shot
cartridges with a cardboard wad or H-wad from
the shot charge and serves to uniformly eject
the shot weight.
22
Hunting shot firing distance is at most 40 m,
depending on calibre and shot grain size.
Above this, scattering is so great that there is
not sufficient coverage. The penetration force
and therefore the effective killing effective of
the shot decreases very rapidly with increasing
shot distance. It depends greatly on the shot
grain size, the ballistic data of the cartridge,
the bore choke, etc. Soft iron shot has a lower
specific weight. A distance of max. 35 m should
not be exceeded in this case.
Firing pin
This hits the ignition cap, igniting the
powder.
Folded crimp
The mouth end is folded together in a star
shape over the shot (also star crimp).
Gas pressure
When the powder gas ignites, the pressure
rises extremely rapidly due to the great heat
development and acts in all directions, i.e. on
the case, crimp, barrel wall and wad containing
the shot charge or ball cartridge.
High performance
cartridges
These are shot cartridges with soft iron shot
which can only be used in shotguns proofed
for steel shot cartridges.
Hit percentage
The number of hits in a 75 cm test area at
35 m test distance in relationship to the total
number of shot in the cartridge charge as a
ratio.

Specifies the relationship of the hit rate in the
inner circle to the outer circle of the test target
based on the surface unit. (Hit rate in inner
circle x 3, divided by the hit rate in the outer
circle). Together with coverage and speed, this
determines the individual efficiency limit of the
shotgun barrel.

Magnum cartridge Shot cartridge with high shot weight.
Medium ignition
A special three-part form of shot cartridge
ignition.
Nitrocellulose
Powder component
Nitrocellulose
powder
This is an offensive or progressive combusting
powder. When it is ignited, the extremely small
powder volume converts without much smoke
or residue into a large gas volume that provides
the cartridge with its firing energy. The type and
amount of powder is decisive in determining
the gas pressure, to a large extent the speed
and to some extent the shot pattern scatter,
the recoil and the function of the cartridge in
self-loading shotguns.
Range
See long-range limit.
Recoil
Dependent on weight of weapon, shot
weight, calibre and type of powder propellant
charge.
Roll crimp
A shot cartridge crimp closure with a card or

Shot grain size
Usually between 2 and 4 mm, in steps of
0.25 mm.
Shot pattern
See Pattern.
Shot weight
Number of shot grains and total weight.
Slug
See also Original Brenneke slug.
Soft iron shot
(= Steel shot). Alternative to lead shot that is
being legally prescribed due to environmental
protection aspects.
Spreader device
Cross-shaped plastic insert in shot charge that
ensures the shot pattern is formed rapidly
after leaving the barrel. Spreader cartridges
are used in game hunting, short-range and in
skeet shooting.
Steel shot
(Also called soft iron shot). Alternative to lead
shot that is being legally prescribed due to
environmental protection aspects.
Star crimp
The mouth end is folded together in a star
shape over the shot (also folded crimp).
Subsonic
cartridges
Special cartridges with subsonic speeds and

in the form of a cloud (=pattern), continues
to fly and whose length and width expansion
continuously increases with the increasing
distance.
Sulphur antimony (= antimony sulphide), powder component.
Term for the uniform distribution of shot on the
test target. In addition to the choke bore, the
structure of the cartridge and the shot quality
(roundness, uniform diameter) all influence
coverage. A good coverage is therefore when
the least possible boundary shot is present.
Prefabricated from axially stretched polyethylene (PE). Polyethylene is, according to technical
regulations, not a hazardous substance and
can therefore be disposed of in domestic
waste/general waste.
Gas volume that provides the cartridge with
its firing energy.
23

Which shot cartridge is suitable for which game? Not an easy question! The general conditions that need to be taken into
account are often very different. These include the type of game, distance, calibre, choke bore, landscape conditions, etc. and
the personal preferences of the hunter. Even the hunting laws of individual countries differ and when using steelshot cartridges,
different ballistics and greater energy losses must also be taken into account.*
This is why the preferable pellet sizes listed in the table can only be recommendations and should not be used instead of
personal experience!

* The general rule is: The size of steelshot must be selected approx. 2 shot numbers lower for the same hunting purpose. In simplified terms: Instead of a shot
cartridge with 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead shot, a shot cartridge with 3.2 mm (No. 4) steelshot must be used.
