Swartklip's ‘Club’ loads all have a

MV of 380 m/sec. (1, 247 fps), except

the #9s which reach 400 m/sec. (1,312

fps). The more impressive high-brass

35 gram ‘Game’ loads in actual fact

toddle along at a quite sedate MV of

370 m/sec. (1, 214 fps). from http://www.wingshooters.co.za/pdf/articles/HighSpeedAmmo-Duff.pdf

Ducks are hunted with a shotgun. The speed and size of a duck would make it virtually impossible to hit with a single bullet or pellet, when in flight. A shotgun uses lots of tiny pellets that spread out in area from the gun, giving the hunter more chance of hitting the target, these tiny pellets also have less of a destructive effect on the birds, which are usually eaten.

How is the ammunition for a rifle different from ammunition from a shotgun?

In general. a rifle fires a single projectile that is designed to be spun by the grooves inside the gun barrel. A shotgun fires a much larger diameter shell. This is filled with multiple round lead pellets. The weight of all the pellets in one shell is usually greater than the weight of a rifle bullet, but they do not travel as fast, and are not meant to be spun when fired.
