Ballistic Products Saturn Copper Shot

Ballistic Products Saturn Copper (BSC) shot is revolutionizing the industry with a commitment to quality and product innovation; developed by long-term partner, Spherical Precision Inc., supplier to major shotshell manufacturers worldwide. Utilizing the unique and patented Saturn design, which has been proven by years of field applications. Ballistic Saturn Copper is a duplex pellet combination specifically designed for superior ballistic performance.

BSC features a specialized 50/50 blend of CIC passivated copper and tin-electroplated copper, which alters the friction behavior of the shot load by modifying surface shear and adherence properties. Tin-on-copper friction is lower than copper-on-copper friction, which is one reason why copper and tin are used in mechanical contact parts. Both types of pellets are 99.9% copper with identical average weight and a density of 8.9g/cc. The surface properties of copper and tin exhibit a complementary relationship with the friction, compression, and impact forces between the projectiles. When paired together, copper and tin surfaces exhibit a lower friction coefficient. CuBuff buffer also contains a dry lubricant to assist in pellet adjustment. This reduces adhesion and interfacial resistance, which is vital for peak shotshell performance.

Copper is softer than steel, thus more suitable for older firearms and fixed chokes. Copper pellets are not prone to fragmentation. Each pellet is engineered and manufactured to precise tolerances and uniformity, setting a new production standard in the shot market. BSC exhibits extremely impressive patterning results and the Saturn design produces enhanced wound channels and greater energy transfer to the target. Field tests on upland game and waterfowl produced eye-opening results this season. BSC shot is now ready for the North American shotgunner.
