Question for Slip-Fit Conical Shooters
When you shoot a slip fit conical, does the recovered bullet show that the bullet does in fact obturate to fill the grooves of the rifling?

Never recovered a slip fit that was in good enough form to show any signs of rifling:D

Yes you will often find the bottom flattened out and rifling marks on them.

more of deformed on the bottom and then the top where they hit are really flattened. Of course most of my conicals hit steel traps so maybe I am not a good judge of how they react. Anything will flatten in that steel trap.

I just checked the maxiball that i shot out of the omega into the sand and i found some very swallow rifling. the maxiball is close to a slip fit in the omegas 502 bore.

The few that I have recovered do definitely show the lands and grooves on the shank of the bullet. The bullet is obturating to the bore. I thought I had one here in the collection but I can not find ot to get a picture... UC might have some pictures... |

If you fired a .504 diameter slip-fit conical weighing 460 grains pushed by 80 grains of Triple7 FFg (RWS 1075+ cap) straight into the air from a 24" 1:24" twist barrel exactly in line with the force of gravity on it's upward path (no wind at all) from the town center in Wheeling, WV... how far away and in what direction from your position would the bucket have to be to catch the falling bullet. And that is only the first question. :D
