Option B - Center Shot
In Option B the gate is positioned at the center of the cavity directly into the center hub of the casting.
With the center shot, the metal flows uniformly and rapidly from the center hub into all the thin wall ribs and outer rim, producing complete fill.
The center shot gate is the best design.
