Hello, JohnKSa. The G.C...crimp-on type anyway, usually can be found on bullets in backstop..What I ment was, if there is metal being displaced rearward, it probably wouldn't do so 100% evenly around base..and so G.C. will not be square to base. In reading original Ideal catalogs of first quarter of 20th century, I think that was the original intent..to fall off after exiting bore.
