Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to bullets or projectiles and provides various embodiments for different calibers and weights. The projectiles have grooves and fins on their exterior that help form a seal and stabilize the projectile during flight. This design reduces friction and drag, resulting in increased speed and reduced velocity degradation. The projectile can be made of copper or any other metal or material. The covered projectile has lower friction and drag compared to traditional projectiles. The overall shape of the projectile envelope is flexible and allows for increased airflow.

Problems solved by technology

As the projectile travels down the barrel a high amount of chamber pressure and friction causes portions of the projectile to be cold formed.
This causes the barrel to heat up.

Embodiment Construction

[0005]In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a covered projectile that includes a projectile having a nose portion, a middle portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the rear portion, and a jacket that surrounds at least a portion of the projectile and includes an exterior surface and an interior surface. The jacket includes a front cone. A plurality of annular grooves are defined in the exterior surface of the jacket. In a preferred embodiment, the middle portion has a greater diameter than the nose portion and the rear portion. Preferably, the projectile defines a projectile axis, each fin includes a front portion that defines a front portion axis and a tail portion that defines a tail portion axis. The front portion axis of each fin extends parallel to the projectile axis, and the tail portion axis of each fin defines an acute angle with the front portion axis.

[0006]In a preferred embodiment, the interior surf...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 671,334, filed May 14, 2018, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a projectile, and more particularly to a projectile that includes stabilization fins and for the components for loading the projectile into a cartridge.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Standard bullets, projectiles or rounds are cylindrical, pointed objects that are fired from a barrel with rifling therein. The rifling in the bore instills spin and, therefore, stability in the projectile as it travels to its target. As the projectile travels down the barrel a high amount of chamber pressure and friction causes portions of the projectile to be cold formed. This causes the barrel to heat up. The present invention helps solve this problem.[0004]SUMMARY OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS[0005]In accordance with a first ...
