Wakeslee (Associated Press Science Editor) BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Ball istic experts here have a new, square head projectile which goes contrary to the accepted laws of streamlining. It Is a rifle bullet which can be speeded up by 120 miles an hour 200 feet a second through use of its extra resistance to The air. It is an exception, moreover, that it ex pected by ballistic men to prove the rule that top speeds He In stream lines. The bullet Is lead, .22 caliber, and sawed off across tho tip. But the tip Is not an entirely,! flat plane. Stuck on its surface. Ilka a sealing wax stamp. Is a small, circular pla teau of lead, a low projection called the tit. May lie Made Sjwedler The experts think this projection has something to do with thi speed of the bijjlet. It may be a partial streamlining, they say, and If It Is they expect some day to be able to round it up Into the conventional blunt form to secure possibly more speetj. The extra velocity of the new bul let comes f:-om the use of more powder, and the fact that It main tains its accuracy when fired with the extra charge. The conventional shape of bullet would take the high er speed, but would lose accuracy. TMe flat top adds accuracy and hitting power. In lncreaseo? hitting power the tiny, flat surface is said to be equivalent to slapping water with the opn hand Instead of poking a finger Into the liquid. The bodies of game animals, being largely water, are hit with such ex tra force as to knock them over. The ordinary .22 bullet frequently pierces an animal completely with out stopping Its flight. Drills a Clean Hole This caliber is used more fo tar get practice than for hunting, and the flat nose makes a perfect round hole in target paper. When two conical .22 bullets strike within a fraction of an inch in the same spot in the bull's eye, event the experts hi.i-e difficulty in deciding whether the;were one or two hits. Tbt flat tops leave no chance for uncertainty, for their spin makes a precise cutting edge of the blunt end and drills a perfect sphere. 'Not only in paper but in anything this bul let Is capable of piercing its entering hole is round and clean. A Baby For You?
