AFTE Store - Idaho Territory Bullets from Speer

This article summarizes the qualities of recent bullets manufactured by CCI/Speer. Specifically, the report summarizes effects of the proprietary coating on the Idaho Territory line of bullets in producing visible/matchable striae from barrels they are fired through. Under certain circumstances: namely a very polished bore and lubrication on the bullets, rifling striae from such a bore are not transferred to the surface of the bullet. Matching such a bullet, beyond class characteristics, is not possible.
