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?

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.

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...
