A square shoulder in the grooves gives better balance to the bullet


How did you prove the balance thing? The bullet blueprint posted will make round holes in paper at 1300 yards so it must be balanced.

It also allows the lube to smear off more consistently in the barrel than a beveled one.


How did you detect this?

Why did you put bevels on your bullet? A simple cut off tool made to the correct thickness would have cut the grooves cheaply for your cherry. Making the beveled grooves must have been time consuming for the tool maker/machinist.


This is a question for Lyman Products. They cut the cherrie. Look at the bottom of the blueprint, it reads LB429421.

And again I've found no difference between the round, square, or beveled lube groove pertaining to accuracy, leading, or killing power.

And till now I've had no one prove the square lube groove was better balanced or "lubed the barrel" better, but I'm all ears so prove away.
