ringing
A question related to the original and to several responses. I'm not being a wise guy, I really don't know.
" That is also why it is possible to shoot out an obstruction without bulging the barrel using a moderate powder load but NO bullet in the second cartridge. There is enough pressure to move the obstruction, but the gas alone does not have enough kinetic energy to convert to heat and soften the barrel."
"the new bullet will crash into the stationary bullet and try to share its momentum with it (an inelastic collision rather than an elastic one...."
When loading CF rifle cartridges with reduced loads, we are frequently warned NOT to use fillers in bottlenecked cases because that practice has been known to cause ringing of the barrel just after the chamber or even in the chamber. We have a light powder charge and a very light wad or filler. What causes the ringing in that case? Or....is that caution another myth?
