The process of baking shotgun shells typically involves removing the shot and powder from the shell casing, and then placing them in an oven for a specific amount of time at a controlled temperature. This can result in a variety of effects, such as tightening the spread pattern for more precise shooting, or increasing the velocity of the shot for longer range shooting. By customizing the ammunition in this way, shooters can tailor their shotgun shells to their individual preferences and specific hunting or shooting needs. While this method requires precision and caution, it has become a popular technique for those seeking to enhance the performance of their shotgun ammunition.
