Fiber reinforced bullet and method of manufacture

A method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced polymeric bullet, comprising the steps of:

• forming a fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) bar stock wherein the fiber reinforcing members produced using continuous basalt fibers (CBF) are placed coaxial in an appropriate adhesive matrix;
• holding said FRP bar by a revolving collet that is interfaced with an upper diamond grit OD grinder and a lower diamond grit profile wheel having a cutting surface constructed and arranged to cut the leading edge of said bullet;
• drawing the FRP bar by said upper diamond grit OD grinder to an exact outer dimension for placement in a cartridge;
• grinding and cutting said bullet by said lower grinder to a perfect dimension;
• stopping the FRP bar stock by a smooth Teflon coated side of a diamond edge cut off wheel;
• moving said diamond edge cut off wheel and said upper grinder and said lower profile wheel by linear slides.
