Dispersion Control Technology

For the finest in upland bird hunting, Polywad, Inc. offers the Spred-R shotshells.

These shells revolutionize shotgun pattern effectiveness by producing a quick, uniform opening of the pattern without adversely affecting pellet energy or downrange pellet count. These dispersion control loads can be used with any choke from full to skeet, and depending on the choke used, provide the shooter from 80% to 150% more pattern area than conventional shotshells fired through the same choke. These larger patterns solve the problem of close range shooting and increase hits. Spred-R loads deliver hard hits throughout the pattern by dispersing the surplus center pellets into a wider pattern with a strong fringe! This results in less wounding of birds and cleaner, quicker kills. Spred-R shells are fantastic for the smaller upland birds such as Grouse, Quail, Woodcock and Chukar. Spred-R shells come in 12, 16, 20 and 28 gauges.

When the pellets of a conventional shell leave the muzzle, an elongated shotstring is created. The leading pellets are the center of the pattern and the trailing pellets are the outer circle. Since most of the pellets are in the center, the outer 1/3rd of the pattern is composed of sporadic and erratic pellets that are losing energy. This results in weak hitting pellets with huge holes in the outer 1/3rd of the pattern! Wounded birds are the result of these weak fringes.

When SPRED-R pellets leave the muzzle they are temporarily held to the post-disk wad. The shot does not string out as it does in a regular shell. Polywad's Dispersion Control Technology guides the leading pellets to the outer edge of the pattern, while trailing pellets stay in the center of the pattern. Hard hits are delivered throughout the pattern!

Features and Benefits of the High Performance SPRED-R Shotshell:

• Larger patterns develop quickly from any bore, solving the problem of close range shooting
• Downrange pattern density and pellet energy is maintained to insure effectiveness for longer range shooting
• 2-3 times increased square inches of coverage to increase your hits
• Pellets are distributed evenly in the inner and outer circle of the pattern for cleaner, quicker kills
• Hard hitting throughout the entire pattern for less wounding of game and more busted targets
• A shorter shotstring for more effective results on a moving target

What do leading Shotgun Experts say about the SPRED-R?

"This year I shot six straight grouse. I've never been able to do this before. I did it with those new SPRED-R's"

Nick Sisley, Outdoor Writer

"Boy do they open the pattern - yet it stays very even! More margin for error and less damage to the birds."

Craig Boddington, Petersen's Hunting

"Do they work? Absolutely."

Ross Seyfried, Guns and Ammo

"SPRED-R Shotshells are attracting a following among sporting clay shooters finding extra targets on their scoresheets, among wingshooters bringing home that extra bird in the bag, game taken cleanly but not mangled by too-tight shot swarms."

Randy Lawrence, Double Gun Journal

"Of all the loads tested (250 tests), only one put the same percentage of pellets in both the center circle and the outer ring. The load was the SPRED-R."

Marshall Williams, Shotgun Sports

"One that's impressed me lately is the SPRED-R. My pattern tests with a full choke gun revealed a total spread at 20 yards as large as that given by an ordinary load at 40 yards. Although there's less difference with open chokes, the patterns are still larger than with conventional shells"

Bob Brister, Field & Stream
