What is Point Blank Range?

What is Point Blank Range?

If you point your rifle directly at the center of your target - and I mean the line of the bore pointing right at the center of that piece of paper - the bullet likely will not actually hit the center. Instead, it’ll hit a bit below the center, or very far below it depending on the distance to the target.

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.

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.
