All interesting comments, and thanks. But, what I'm trying to figure is ......... is there any reason for a factory spreader load, with new round shot, to have more random fliers than a regular factory load being shot out of a gun that would have, say, a CYL barrel, or SK? I think not, but am curious enough to listen to any ideas.
The most misshapen shot that leave the barrel, from either type shell, will be those in the bottom of the payload, due to setback. The amount of "damage" to them would be a function of powder burn rate, hardness of shot, shot cup type (or lack of one) and velocity. So, it's really impossible to compare apples to apples with any degree of confidence.
As I said earlier, I have no agenda here. I'm just an inquisitive type.
