[QUOTE="Guest, post: 62208"] That makes a lot of sense. When the bullet is in travel down the barrel it is in essence a small ballon (to give a sense of the elasticity with the forces present), thus it would seem to me that as the lands scribe onto the bullet the displaced lead must flow somewhere, I imagine that would be into the valleys between the lands and forward into the ogive area - given the pressure wave on the rear of the bullet - possibly deforming the ogive. I understand we're splitting hairs here but it is interesting none-the-less. All that said, this is theoretical as I have no empirical evidence to back it up. JK [/QUOTE]
