ABSTRACT:
A target practice system including reusable cartridges for firearms and a bullet trap for stopping the flight of projectiles from the cartridges. The case of the cartridge is adapted to receive the projectile, or alternative standard cases may be used. The projectile has a cylindrical core of a diameter less than the rifling of the firearm and axially spaced-apart, outwardly opening channels extend circumferentially about the core. Endless resilient rings are inserted into the channels. A powder-receiving hole is provided in the rearward end of the projectile. When fired, the projectile rides on the resilient rings as it travels down the barrel of the firearm. The core does not come in contact with the barrel, and the resilient rings center the core in the barrel during travel down it for improved accuracy. A rocket-like effect is realized from the rearward discharge of gases liberated by combustion. Also, methods of loading the reusable cartridges are disclosed.
