Cartridge components
The cartridge shown is of the
bottleneck 'rimless' variety, so called because
neck diameter is smaller than the body diameter and
the
rim of the case is the same diameter as the base of
the case itself. For interest, both Boxer and Berdan
primers
are shown, as is a separate Full Metal Jacket bullet. By way of comparison see
the Soft tip bullet fitted in the complete cartridge shown
below.
