, After a bullet leaves the rifle barrel, what two forces act on the bullet's trajectory? -

Newton
A bullet's reaction to wind depends on what two factors? - ANS Speed and direction of the
wind
The primary advantage of a Progressive press is: - ANS Higher rate of cartridge assembly
compared to single stage press
What is "start pressure?" - ANS The amount of pressure necessary for the bullet to overcome
the initial forces of friction
What is case obturation? - ANS The ability of a case to expand and then return to its basic
shape
The dent, coming from the firing pin striking the metal side of the primer, creates the pressure
needed to ignite the priming mixture. - ANS True
If you are using "range brass," what must you make sure of before reloading? (Click all the
apply) - ANS Check the headstamp for caliber designation, That the cases are the correct
chambering for your gun
