Abstract:
A cartridge comprising an elongate rifle bullet with a plurality of circumferential grooves having overmolded polymer therein defining embedded polymer rings. The cartridge further having a case and propellant. The polymer rings have an outer surface that is flush with, that is, conforming to the outer surface of the body. The polymer may have be selected to have a favorable coefficient of friction with respect to the barrel. The bands offering reduction of the metal to metal contact between the bullet and the barrel while not diminishing the ballistic coefficient of the bullet.

Claim (Index 1):
A low caliber ammunition cartridge, comprising:\n a case comprising a base portion and a case wall extending forward from the base portion to a forward edge of the case wall defining a case cavity and a forward case mouth propellant disposed inside the case cavity for producing a quantity of propellant gas; a primer housing disposed in a hole defined by the base portion of the case, and a priming material disposed inside the primer housing for igniting the propellant; a projectile secured in the mouth of the casing, the projectile comprising a unitary projectile body having a rearward tail portion, a forward nose portion, and a barrel engaging portion extending between and unitary with the nose portion and the tail portion, the barrel engaging portion including a monolithic portion, the monolithic portion having three circumferential grooves spaced intermediate the tail portion and the nose portion; the projectile further comprising three overmolded polymer bands disposed in the three circumferential grooves, each of the three overmolded bands conforming to the shape of the respective groove.
