Has any one else noticed that rifle and pistol ammo has had a major evolution over the past few years. We have more designs for rifle and pistol bullets than ever. Designs like the Winchester Fail-safe use interesting new design advances.
OK, so why hasn't this occurred to the same extent with shotgun ammo?
The flechette load, one of the more practical advances in shotgun ammo is still not widely available or even known about. Tungsten buckshot loads have not gotten past the expiremental stage. Steel buckshot is only made as a specialty item.
Why have we not seen as big of an advance in shotgun ammo as we have with rifle and pistol ammo?
I would like to see more advances in this area.
