The question I have is............. what does touching the lands do that is beneficial? ( Don't tell me it shoots better)
One would think that it would build up pressure before the projectile moves causing a pressure spike. Or is that is what is intended to help combustion of the powder? I have wondered how far everything moves down the barrel before combustion begins. A shot gun primer will send a wad quite a ways, does touching the lands stop this?
One would think that "getting a run" at the lands would help the projectile on it's way down the barrel, some what like gaining speed to plow through a snow drift.
Against the lands under pressure, I can see the boolit "Bumping Up", slamming into the lands whist moving will do the same, no?
I can't see that having the projectile moving a bit "unguided" by the lands would hurt, it isn't out of the case by the time it engages.....
Yeah, I know, I think too much.............it's a "gift"
