Abstract
A cartridge includes a casing having an open end, a closed end, and a bore extending between the open end and the closed end, a projectile in the bore at the open end, the projectile having an exterior surface, and a propellant in the bore between the projectile and the closed end. A coating is applied to the exterior surface of the projectile such that the coating penetrates the exterior surface and fills the microporosity of the exterior surface to thereby improve the ballistics of the projectile.
Claims19
