Cut Bullets Deed For Free

Theory. Trimming the meplat (cutting the tip of the bullet, thus increasing its area) decreases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, increasing drag and making it more susceptible to wind drift. So even though the grouping will be tighter, the time of flight and wind drift will be slightly greater.

Yes, technically it is possible to drop a cartridge and have the bullet fire. It is completely dependent on the primer. It can take anywhere between 3?16lbs of pressure to set off the primer so it also is very dependent on the actual ammunition. Also remember that it might be possible but it isn't very likely.

In rare instances, what the bullet lands on could make it go off. For example, if you drop your cartridge near a steel object and it lands at the perfect angle with enough force, the bullet could go off.

Dropping a bullet could lead to other problems for gun owners, which include bending a cartridge, deforming the tip of the bullet, and ruining the handgun's chamber.

By examining unique striations impressed into a bullet from the barrel of a gun, expended ammunition can be linked back to a specific weapon. These striations are due to the rifling inside the barrels of firearms. Rifling spins the bullet when it is fired out of the barrel to improve precision.

Improve performance and save money by making your own hollow-pointed rounds. Hollow-pointing lets shooters fine-tune bullet weight to improve ballistics. Use the Hollow Pointer attachment on the Original Case Trimmer to drill cavities in the noses of cast or jacketed soft-nose bullets.
