Recoil reducing vented bullets.

[JWV]

I saw these on Gizmodo.com today and I am just wondering why the hell they went through the time and effort to make these. They have seemed to try to make a more expensive, less effective muzzle brake. Ridiculous in my opinion.Is the recoil of a 308 really that bad?

What do you think, $4+ per 9mm bullet? Seems acceptable

I think they got their physics wrong.

Some of the comments are excellent

i call bs on that idea

Loading them out into the lands (of most rifles) will let the powder fall out of the cartridge...

Now......if you had a <span style="text-decoration: underline">smooth</span> bore and <span style="text-decoration: underline">angled vents</span> to impart stabilizing spin.....??????

This is how an Engineer goes about reducing a load.

I once drilled 3/16th holes down the center of some 450 grain 45/70 bullets just to see what would happen .Used a .060 LDPE wad on the powder to seal the hole till the bullet left the muzzle .They shot to the same place and just as acurate as undrilled ones . Arnie

Re: Recoil reducing vented bullets.

you know, I can see the velocity increase--but I would attribute it to the very light weight bullets and not so much the gas ventilation stuff.

I don't know about reducing the recoil forces other than it simply being a light bullet.

Looks more like something someone in marketing would come up with.

An engineer would have the sense to look at that and recognize it for the joke that it is.

A fool and his money...

Just when you think you've seen it all...

The bullet is going so fast there would be very little (if any) affect like a Muzzle break. Not to mention it looks like those holes would not be blocked by the barrel.

Looks like a good idea for African hunters who love to have classical looking magnum class rifles, but want lighter recoil. It seems sound- should work a lot like Magnaporting- maybe a 25% recoil reduction.

There's a market for the product- it's just a small market. For everyone fiscally conservative who shoots more than a couple boxes of rounds per lifetime the muzzle brake is the way to go.
