I know that it works and is accurate... But I got to thinking about it the other day and I thought that when you go to fire the boolit, it has to jump 0.15" to get to the cylinder throat before it goes another 0.25" or so to get to the barrel through a gap... Does it ever shear off some of the lead/coating when hitting the cylinder throat?
Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered how all this can happen without the boolit getting all off balance before being squeezed down the barrel. I also think about my most accurate and powerful pistols - they are revolvers.
Anyway, thought I would throw this out to see if anyone knows how all this happens and still maintains so much accuracy. Also, why isn't a whole ton of energy lost at the cylinder gap?
