[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 322758, member: 2736"] It is basically a banded bullet. These are common in the dangerous game bullets especially the solids. When the bullet is fired only the bands engrave the rifling and the bullet body rides in the bore without engraving. Most solids are much to hard to be engraved like the jacketed lead or soft copper bullets so the bands are used because of minimum contact with the groves . They are a little difficult to set up for long range but they do seam to increase velocity if fitted correctly. I think that all of the really big guns 20 mm and up to the 16'' navy guns use this system because of the size and weight of the projectile. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
