Watch the Bullet in.22LR Super Slow Motion! Watch.22 LR Projectile Exiting Muzzle of RifleThis video, filmed using an ultra-high speed camera, shows milliseconds as a.22 caliber bullet travels through the first 11 inches of a.22 LR barrel. Applied Ballistics says: “Notice the bullet is fully obturated (obturated), to the internal bore dimensions — the step/rebate which exists on the unfired cartridge where it meets the casing gets expanded (obturated), and does not exist on the fired round.” How Important is Case fill Ratio – You May Be Surprised Conventional reloading practices are to select a powder to give you a good fill ratio, meaning 90%-100% for the cartridge Why? Some people say that a high fill ratio is beneficial because it prevents powder from settling in the case differently (which could cause inconsistent ignition and a greater MV SD). This explanation sounded good and was unchallenged by many for a long period of time. Applied Ballistics, however, has conducted some interesting tests that shed new light on the issue of density. Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting, Vol. The results of Applied Ballistics’ tests of five different cartridges –.223 Rem up to.338 Lapua – loaded with different powders and resulting in fill ratios of 80% to 100% are included in Volume 2. The testers wanted see if the higher fill ratios (100% fill ratios) actually produced better results. Results of testing three different loads in five different cartridges – The highest MV SD in fact was measured in an 80% load. The lowest MV SD, however, was also measured with a different 80% fill ratio load! The more we learn, it seems like we have more questions. A podcast from Applied Ballistics covers the Fill Ratio Test. Visit Thescienceofaccuracy.com to access this and interesting podcasts. EDITOR’S NOTE: Several Facebook readers commented that fill ratios of 90% and higher worked better for them. Reloading manuals warn you against fill ratios that are too low.
