Larry Seecamp's Special Project
« on: December 04, 2013, 09:42:30 AM »
For those of you who do not check in at the Seecamp Forum, Larry has been working on an ammunition project for the last couple of years.  These links were posted yesterday on his Forum and I found them both surprising and interesting.

   http://lwsammunition.com/

He has just started the website.

Here are some patent details and drawings.

It sounds like he has done a lot of Gel Tests and this new design will greatly enhance the effectiveness of small calibers.

Interesting...thanks for posting.  I haven't been to Larry's forum for a while.

All these little pistols need custom ammo - I see Bill Wilson even produces special ammo for the 3" 1911s. NAA went that route with the NAA 25 and 32 (bottle neck cartridges). There are just too many variables in ammo and the micro pistols seem to find them.

Experimenting with different ammos and FTF, or FTE, become very frustrating. The seecamp was built around the old Winchester Silvertips and ran like a swiss watch - then Silvertips changed. I have a broomhandle mauser and runs like a sewing machine on Finochhi, but won't cycle with Privi Partizan

Larry Seecamp and Rorhbaughs are perfectionists, so this will be interesting.

Very Interesting>

Bullets With Lateral Damage Stopping Power
US 20130092041 A1
Abstract
Ammunition which includes a bullet having an effective caliber that is larger than its nominal caliber, comprised of a bullet body with a longitudinal cavity in the forward end, and one or more bores extending from the cavity to bore openings on the exterior of the bullet. In use, target media is gathered in the cavity and ejected under force through the bore openings, increasing the damage done by the bullet. Optional embodiments include filled, irritant payload, and jacketed embodiments.

I hope its OK post more and again --- above link
