AFTE Store - Bullet Bearing Surface Composition and Rifling (Bore) Conditions as Variables in the Reproduction of Individual Characteristics on Fired Bullets

The purpose of the experiment described herein is to demonstrate the effects of several of the more significant variables that may contribute towards the reproducibility of identifiable individual characteristics on fired bullets. The author discusses individual characteristics via an examination of various types of bullets (Lubaloy, Golden, and Nyclad) and various conditions of the bore.
