[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 376243, member: 10755"] I won't get into the technical terms associated with the word "ogive", but I'll give you a simple explanation of what it is. It is that part of a bullet where the shank, the bit that is one calibre wide from the base, starts to taper to the tip, which BTW is called the "meplat". In other words, it's the part of the bullet that is tapered near the top of the bullet, but below the meplat, or tip. gun) [/QUOTE]
