Shorter projectile

Would there be any advantage to cutting a round ball or cast bullet to allow for more powder in a cap and ball revolver?

[LowThudd]

None.

[bolantej]

So, no noticeable difference? What about through a chrono?

[LowThudd]

Even with gained FPS, you'll cut your energy along with any accuracy you might have had. It is a horrible idea.

[bolantej]

Okay. Thanks for the information!

Where do people come up with these ideas????

Doing this could result in a KABOOM, there is no advantage gained by serious injury and/or major damage to firearm...

Please dont do this...

Their called Conical bullets and they do not equal or improve accuracy over the round ball.

I love internet bullies. I'm glad this state has such strict rules when it comes to guns if people like this live here. Blow off some steam elsewhere. Nothing wrong with a question. Not everyone is a black power guru. But hey, if being this way makes you all feel better about yourselves for whatever you lack in your life, then bully away.

Uuhh...No one bullied you.

Where exactly do you see someone 'bullying' you because I don't see that at all.

Perhaps thicker skin is in order.

[bolantej]

Ahh, gun people are fun.

[Kestryll]

No answer then and a snarky comment.

Okay, Bye-Bye!

While I can see his point of view with getting snarky comments about his idea, as all he did was ask a question, and then get a couple of good answers, followed by some that were a bit less than polite. However, being obnoxious the head janitor is never wise...

Get some round balls and come out and shoot this.
