Thanks Gene, I knew you'd understand!

OK, let's say I was gonna make some flat base bullets....
How would I prevent the pressure ring...and use...say...Berger jackets?

Edited to add...not that I would think I needed to - just asking since there's some bullets out there that don't have a "pressure ring".
From what I have been told by bullet makers in Oz is that a pressure ring at the bullet base is a good thing to have as it helps seal off the gas properly. So could these guys be wrong ?
Andy.
Yes they are wrong all bullets f.b. or b.t. gas leaks past through engraving of rifling none do not leak... it still would be interesting to see exactly what Mr. Harris has come up with to stop the pressure ring but I am sure its a guarded secret.
I don't recall them telling me bullets didn't leak gas past them. Never mentioned that. They just said the pressure ring was beneficial because it helped seal off the gasses.
Andy.
depends on what your definition of "seal" is...
Oh for heavens sake this is just semantics. Question. Does a pressure ring at the base of the bullet help retain gasses behind the bullet or not. If not why ? If so why ?
Andy.
I don't think it matters. Some pretty good targets have been shot by folks that don't know about such stuff. Actually, some pretty good targets have been shot by folks that don't know much at all...go figure!?!?!
