Hunting never ceases to attract people.Improved methods, weapons and ammunition. The Poleva 12 caliber bullet is widely used by hunters in the post-Soviet space. Against the background of other products of the twelfth caliber, it compares favorably in its performance. This applies to accuracy and accuracy.
History
The 12 Pole Field Pole was created at the beginningeighties of the last century. Designer Viktor Vladimirovich Polev was the author of the sub-caliber bullet. At his request, tests were carried out at the Kirov factory of fishing and hunting equipment (he was subordinate to Rosokhotrybolovsoyuz).
Designed and Manufactured Field Equipment(the first name is "Victoria") had its own peculiarity. The design of the lead bullet was designed in such a way that the inevitable deformation when fired was used to secure it on the pyzhe stabilizer.
Structure
Poleva Pole 12 gauge designed forsmooth-bore weapon, refers to the switch type - it is a lead sluggish element, fastened with a plastic shank. To improve the sealing of the bore during the shot (obturation) and to better pass the bullet through the bore, a plastic container is put on the lead head (after it leaves the barrel, it is separated from it).
The Poleva 12 caliber bullet has three parts.
- The bullet is made of lead alloy. There are options for the production of brass and steel. It has the shape of a cone, and at the bottom is a rod. He fixes it in a plastic shank.
- Shank, he's a wad-stabilizer,made from high pressure polyethylene. The front cylindrical part has a blind hole for the core of the bullet. Inclined ribs (usually six) give the ammunition in flight a rotational motion. The shank performs the function of the obturator (prevents gas breakthrough).
- A container of two halves when equippedput on the head and injected into the sleeve. In the structure of the container there are features: the inner upper part is made in the shape of a cone. The lower part has a thickening and rests on the edges of the shank. When the projectile flies out of the barrel, the container is divided into two parts and flies away from the bullet.
Kinds
Poleva 12 caliber bullets quickly gained popularity among hunters. The author has created several modifications of his creation:
- Poleva-2 bullet - has a smaller diameter of the head part, separating wad-obturator and shank are slightly modified;
- Poleva-3 bullet - different flat head with expansive emptiness, which greatly facilitates the deformation in a collision with a target;
- Poleva-4 bullet - equipped with an expansive funnel (in the bow), has a mass of 40 grams (used for shooting large animals);
- Paleva-6 bullet is a relatively recent development; a removable wad helps to compensate for the difference in barrel diameters of a 12-gauge weapon.
Today on the market there are several other variants of the Polev bullet, they were created by various developers.
Cartridge equipment
Equipment ammunition bullet Poleva traditional:
- gunpowder is poured into the encapsulated sleeve;
- the bullet in assembled form is inserted into the sleeve with the batch to the powder;
- it is fixed in the sleeve (manufacturer's recommendation - "hut"), taking into account the length of the chamber.
If the sleeves are 3.5 mm shorter than the chamber, it is better to roll it with a “roller”.
Features
When ammunition equipment bullet Poleva need to pay attention to the following points:
- Do not increase the charge of gunpowder more than indicated in the recommendations. Powerful obturator significantly increase the pressure in the barrel.
- The head is inserted into the plastic sleeves until the end, so that the container lobes are moved apart. The projectile enters the sleeve with "tension", which, in turn, will keep it without rolling.
- This scheme allows you to reuse the liner. Only you need to make sure that its length does not exceed 70 mm.
- Plastic sleeve can be rolled. Paper is no worse and on the accuracy of fire influence.
- There should be control over the correct installation of the container. This will help avoid turning parts of one or both of them.
- You can not use bullets if their container is freeenters the sleeve. Indicators of destructive power will decrease due to poor-quality obturation. The container and in paper, and in a plastic sleeve should enter with "pressure".
12 caliber bullets used for hunting largegame. First of all on a bear, an elk, a boar. A good slaughter range (up to 150 meters) ensures a successful hunt. At the moment of hitting the target under the influence of overload the lead bullet is very tightly pressed into the shank. Its flattening is oriented in such a way that it is even more pressed into it.
These bullets are also used for shooting sports: at a “standing roe” or “running boar”. Such ammunition is suitable not only for “breaking” guns, but also for semi-automatic guns (for example, TOZ-87).
Advantages and disadvantages
Reliable and accurate, she enjoys well deservedpopular. Other things being equal, consumers choose Field bullets. Feedback from hunters on the accuracy of the battle only positive. In addition, the lethal shot range is 150 meters.
It's no secret that guns are twelve caliber,Issued at the Izhevsk plant, differ in diameter from the Tula counterparts. A container with a wad of Poleva-6 bullet compensates for the difference, allowing you to get a full, more powerful shot. In this case, the gases in both guns do not break through.
There are three main advantages of the Poleva bullet:
- lack of additional gaskets and wads;
- the arrow-shaped form in combination with the stabilizer wad ensures a stable flight, always “head” forward;
- deformation of the bullet is an element of a reliable connection of lead with the wad.
The disadvantages of the product include the impossibilitymanufacturing bullets in handicraft home conditions due to the presence of plastic parts and its complex shape. At low temperatures, the elasticity of the plastic shank is lost, which reduces the effectiveness of the shot. Shooting bullets Poleva little productive in the tall grass, dense shrubs and other bushes. When a bullet touches even a minor obstacle, the deflection angle is too large to hit the target. The latter drawback is easily corrected by making bullets from a more solid material - brass or steel.
