| 6938552 | Corrosion-resistant structure incorporating zinc or zinc-alloy plated lead or lead-alloy wires and method of making same Structure incorporating lead is fabricated from specially prepared components such that mobility of the lead is impeded when the structure is exposed to an unprotected environment such as weathering outdoors or saltwater. In a preferred embodiment, a bullet or bulle... | 09/06/2005 |
| 6209180 | Non-toxic high density shot for shotshells A composite shot for shot shells includes a ferrous metal core and a non-toxic coating having a density greater than that of lead. The overall density of the shot is at least as great as that of lead.... | 04/03/2001 |
| 6173652 | Environmentally sealed shot Shot having a lead or lead alloy core is sealed from the outside by at least one non-toxic layer which protects the environment from lead waste toxicity and which includes an abhorrent material to act as a repellant for preventing or deterring birds from ... | 01/16/2001 |
| 5760331 | Non-lead, environmentally safe projectiles and method of making same A projectile, such as a bullet, is made by combining two different metals in proportions calculated to achieve a desired density, without using lead. A base constituent, made of a material having density greater than lead, is combined with a binder consti... | 06/02/1998 |
| 5747724 | Shot pellets for game hunting on wet marshlands and method of manufacturing such shot The invention relates to shot pellets for hunting in wet marshlands or corresponding wet areas. The shot has an inner core of copper or copper alloy and an outer layer of silver or silver alloy. No heavy metal will leach from the shot into the environment... | 05/05/1998 |
| 5597975 | Mechanical plating of small arms projectiles The present invention relates to a process for mechanically plating small arms projectiles with a particulate plating metal to form jacketed small arms projectiles. The process comprises agitating a slurry comprising the small arms projectiles, an aqueous... | 01/28/1997 |
| 5528988 | Shot pellets for wild game hunting and a method for its manufacture The invention relates to shot pellets for hunting wild game, particularly birds on wet marshlands. The pellets are also suitable for clay pigeon shooting on organized skeet ranges. The shot pellets have an inner core comprised of lead or lead alloy, and a... | 06/25/1996 |
| 5399187 | Lead-free bullett A composite lead-free bullet is disclosed comprising a heavy constituents selected from the group of tungsten, tungsten carbide, carballoy, and ferro-tungsten and a second binder constituent consisting of either a metal alloy or a plastic blend.... | 03/21/1995 |
| 5189252 | Environmentally improved shot Environmentally improved alternatives to lead shot are provided that overcoat a lead coat with a chemically inert polymer bonded thereto by heating lead shot coated with the polymer above the melting point of the lead shot, or by substituting for lead a c... | 02/23/1993 |
| 5095831 | Shotgun shell with magnetized pellets A shotgun shell loaded with steel shot utilizes a number of magnetized steel pellets intermixed in the load in order to form clusters of pellets as the load is discharged from the shell to thereby improve the shot pattern of relatively lightweight steel s... | 03/17/1992 |
| 4949645 | High density materials and products High density materials, e.g. for fishing weights or pellets or shot as ammunition, are composed of a material comprising high-density metal particles in particular tungsten-containing particles, in a settable or hardenable polymeric matrix providing a com... | 08/21/1990 |
