Patent number: 11940259Abstract: Shot projectiles are disclosed that are not completely spherical. The shot has an equatorial ring, top and bottom poles, and one or more sections extending between the ring and the respective poles. The ring defines a vertical height relative to an overall diameter of the projectile. The one or more sections provide flat, concave, or convex surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Federal Cartridge CompanyInventors: Matthew S. Schroeder, Adam J. Moser, Drew L. Goodlin, Erik K. Carlson

Patent number: 11933593Abstract: Devices and methods for shotshell cartridges, particularly shotshell cartridges with biodegradable components. One or more of the casing, shot wad, spacer, and powder wad may be formed of biodegradable materials. A biodegradable shot wad is manufactured of cellulosic fibers and wax to provide obturation and gas seal properties at high pressures with high reliability.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Federal Cartridge CompanyInventors: Alex R. Schmieg, Robert A. Strange, Anthony C. Stockey, Steven P. Schommer, Adam J. Moser

Publication number: 20230358504Abstract: Muzzleloader systems including a pre-packaged propellant charge with a primer and receptacle. The muzzleloader system may include a propellant containment vessel separate from the primer and the projectile and that doesn't contact with the projectile until assembly. The muzzleloader may be rear loading, with a constriction portion forward of the breech chamber. The propellant containment vessel may include a body portion having a forward opening, with a propellant charge disposed therein and a cap portion that is crimp rolled within the mouth of the vessel to seal the forward opening. The closed end of the propellant containment vessel may define a primer receptacle configured to receive the primer. The receptacle may define a depth that is less than the primer height so that, when inserted into the receptacle, the primer extends rearwardly beyond the containment vessel. The muzzleloader system may be configured to fire only specifically configured propellant containment vessels.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Bryan P. Peterson, Drew L. Goodlin, Adam J. Moser
