Transitional Ballistics

Transitional Ballistics

The region of transitional ballistics is very temporary. Transitional ballistics apply in the moment when the bullet leaves the muzzle, as the expanding gasses rush out around it. It ends when the surrounding gasses have reduced in pressure to meet that of the normal atmosphere.

The Barrel

The Barrel

The barrel is the place where the bullet builds up speed, starts to spin, and gets going on the right path. Once the primer is struck, the powder burns and heats, the reaction speeding up as more powder heats up yet more powder and sets it off too. This expanding mass of hot air and burning propellant shoves the bullet down the barrel, burning more as it goes.

Where the Action Is

Where the Action Is

In a nutshell; the action is the portion of the rifle that performs the action of firing the round and ejecting the cartridge. The action is the mechanical structure responsible for loading a cartridge into the chamber, firing, and ejecting a cartridge. Let’s just say - this is literally where the action happens. Make all the puns you want.

Powder

Powder

Powder is the stuff that really sends the bullet flying. Once the primer sets off the reaction, powder burns. As the powder burns, the pressure and temperature in the chamber and the barrel skyrocket. The rising temperature and pressure cause more powder to burn, speeding up the process until it completes.

What is a Rimfire Round?

What is a Rimfire Round?

Rimfire cases have the priming compound built into the case - specifically, around the inside of the rim. The firing pin of a rimfire rifle hits the rim of the case instead of the center. They do not have a separate priming cap at the middle of the head.

The Primer

The Primer

The primer is the little swab of explosive material that sets off the rest of the propellant. To be more specific - in a centerfire cartridge, the primer is a small metal cap with a tiny amount of explosive compound inside, set into the primer pocket at the base of the case (the case head).
