Instead of the bb’s dispersing in a large area they stay in the end of the shell and will impact at a small point

Thank you. Now it makes sense.

It's called a cut slug. It just turns into an ounce and an eighth slug. People have been doing this a very long time.

It's just converting it to a slug.
