[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2582028, member: 115819"] Looks like that's probably it, I forgot they originally were to be filled with grease too. I also forgot how revolutionary it was with straight line penetration. And how gruesome the descriptions were, oof. Yeah, grooves work. My buddy is much more experienced than me and he gave up on copper years ago after some bad experiences. I tried to explain drive bands vs grooves to him and it just didn't work, even though he's shot brass solids and everything. Anyway I got to show him about drive bands last night on an absolute hammer with some calipers and it was like the proverbial bulb turning on over his head. I told him it's not a new idea, I showed him an unexploded artillery projectile I have from 1918 and he was like ooooooooh, right. How do you shove a steel bullet down steel rifling? put copper drive bands on it. [/QUOTE]
