An ogive (/ˈoʊdʒaɪv/ OH-jyve) is the roundly tapered end of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object. Ogive curves and surfaces are used in engineering, architecture and woodworking.
Enhanced Projectile for Precision Rifle Ammunition with more Uniform External ballistic performance and Enhanced Terminal Ballistic Performance
PendingUS20260153313A1Ammunition projectilesCartridge ammunitionExternal ballisticsTerminal ballistics
A ballistically enhanced projectile 360, 460 includes a body having a distal ogive section with external ballistic effect uniforming surface discontinuity (e.g., nose ring groove 369, 469) defined therein to provide an unsupported gap in the ogive profile which affects the flow of air over the front half of the ogive to provide greater aerodynamic uniformity and shot-to-shot consistency with more uniform observed external ballistics and superior terminal ballistics. The bullet's external surface discontinuity feature (369 or 469) creates effects in the flowfield that dominate any dynamic effects from bullet-to-bullet manufacturing inconsistency and resultant differences in dynamic behavior.
