The frusto-conical shoulder is integrally formed with the body portion and a tapered shoulder portion tapers from the body portion to a generally cylindrical integrally formed neck portion. The neck portion extends longitudinally from the shoulder portion and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the body portion and terminates in an open mouth at the projectile receiving end. The neck portion and the tapered portion extend longitudinally a distance such that a bullet positioned in the cartridge case extends through the neck portion and the tapered portion a distance no greater than to a plane through the frusto-conical shoulder, whereby cartridge case useable capacity is maximized. The desired objects of the instant invention are further realized in accordance with a long-range precision firearm cartridge including a cartridge case and a projectile. The cartridge case including a hollow cylinder with a head end and a projectile receiving end. The cylinder includes a generally cylindrical body portion extending from the head end to a frusto-conical shoulder, the body portion having a central aperture extending into the head end for receipt of a primer and a cartridge extraction groove formed around the periphery of the body portion adjacent the head end. The frusto-conical shoulder is integrally formed with the body portion and a tapered shoulder portion tapering from the body portion to a generally cylindrical integrally formed neck portion. The neck portion extends longitudinally from the shoulder portion and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the body portion and terminates in an open mouth at the projectile receiving end. A primer fitted into the central aperture extending into the head end in communication with a flash-hole. Combustible propellant in the body portion. A projectile fitted into the projectile receiving end and the neck portion and the tapered portion extending longitudinally a distance such that the projectile positioned in the cartridge case extends through the neck portion and the tapered portion a distance no greater than to a plane through the frusto-conical shoulder, whereby cartridge case useable capacity is maximized;
- The foregoing and further and more specific objects and advantages of the instant invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a prior art cartridge for use in an AR-15; -
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a cartridge in accordance with the present invention, illustrating dimensions in an unfired and a fired configuration; -
FIG. 3 is a chart illustrating the differences between the cartridge ofFIG. 1 and the cartridge ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a cartridge illustrating the “bullet jump” of a cartridge; -
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a bore rider reamer for use in preparation of an AR-15 chamber to use the cartridge ofFIG. 2 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a finish reamer for use in preparation of an AR-15 chamber to use the cartridge ofFIG. 2 . - Turning now to the drawings, attention is first directed to
FIG. 1 which illustrates a prior art cartridge, generally designated 10, that is specifically designed for use in an AR-15 rifle. Cartridge 10 is known as a 223 Remington cartridge in the civilian field and as a 5.56 NATO cartridge in the military. Cartridge 10 includes acase 12 and a projectile orbullet 14.Bullet 14, in this illustration, is an 80 gr Sierra HP Boattail Matchking. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , acartridge 20 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. Cartridge 20 includes acase 22 and a projectile orbullet 24.Case 22 is generally a hollow cylinder having a restrictedneck 26 and preferably formed of brass.Case 22 includes ahead end 30 and amouth end 32.Head end 30 includes acentral aperture 34 for receipt of a primer (not shown). A generallycylindrical body portion 36 extends fromhead end 30 to a frusto-conical shoulder 38.Central aperture 34 is in communication with aninterior volume 40 defined primarily bycase body portion 36. Acartridge extraction groove 42 is formed around the periphery ofbody portion 36proximate head end 30.Shoulder 38 is tapered (tapered portion designated 39) frombody portion 36 to generallycylindrical neck portion 26.Neck portion 26 has a diameter smaller than the diameter ofbody portion 36 and terminates in an open mouth 44 atmouth end 32. -
Bullet 24 is carried byneck portion 26,filling neck portion 26, with a portion ofbullet 24 extending throughtapered portion 39 ofbody portion 22 approximately to a plane throughshoulder 38. In the embodiment illustrated,bullet 24 is a Boattail type approximately 80 grains. It will be understood however that a large variety of different bullets may be used, such as 55 gr to 70 gr. The difference in position betweenbullet 14 andcase 12 ofFIG. 1 andbullet 24 andcase 22 ofFIG. 2 , as well as the difference in throats and bullet jump, can be seen in the figures. This difference in bullet position results in more useable capacity in case 22 (see chart and description below). -
FIG. 4 , specifically illustrates a plan view of a cartridge “bullet jump”. Generally, the definition of “bullet jump” is the unrestricted clearance between the ogive of the bullet where the actual .224 cal. (in the present examples) begins, designated 45, on the shank of the bullet to the bore where the bullet engages the actual rifling, designated 46. -
Case 22 has nominal dimensions intended to establish a standard cartridge type. Variations from the nominal dimensions are tolerated by minimal deviations. The dimensions ofcartridge 20 are described using both pre-fired and fired dimensions in conjunction with a schematic (FIG. 2 ), the schematic of a chamber bore rider reamerFIG. 5 and finish reamerFIG. 6 , designated 50 and 52, respectively. All dimensions illustrated and described are in inches. - Referring specifically to
FIG. 3 , a chart is illustrated listing major measurements in both the prior art cartridge (223 REM or 5.56 NATO) and showing the major differences. As can be seen from the chart, the length of the case for the 223 REM or 5.56 NATO cartridge is 0.114 inches longer than the case of the present invention but the capacity of the 223 REM or 5.56 NATO cartridge is 0.82 grains less and the useable case capacity is 7.01 grains less. This difference results in the bullet or projectile being driven at 200 fps (feet per second) faster for any barrel length, thus producing more down range energy and distance. Plus, an added advantage is that it will also work well in a bolt action gun as to fit in with lighter bullets, such as 42 gr, 45 gr, 55 gr, 62 gr, to 77 gr varmint cartridges or it can be built into a lightweight youth rifle. In all cases the length will not exceed 2.260 in in the AR 15 or gas operated system. The present improved cartridge basically givesAR 10 in 7.62 capability in an AR 15 platform of 5.56 mm. - Turning to
FIG. 5 , abore rider reamer 50 is illustrated that is specifically designed to ream or form a firearm chamber into a chamber compatible withcartridge 20 andFIG. 6 illustrates afinish reamer 52. To this end, it will be noted that the chamber has dimensions slightly larger than anunfired cartridge 20. Whencartridge 20 is fired in the chamber formed withreamers FIG. 2 ) are achieved. The unfired to fired dimensions, along with the original form, are specifically calculated to maximize powder combustion and direction of the propellant gasses. - Thus, a new and improved cartridge for a firearm is disclosed that maximizes case useable capacity. By carefully designing the diameters of the cartridge and position of the bullet in the case, the maximum efficiency of the cartridge can be achieved. The new and improved cartridge maximizes bullet speed, resulting in more down range energy and distance, without substantially increasing the size of the case or cartridge. Further, the new and improved cartridge improves projectile or bullet accuracy for longer ranges.
- Various changes and modifications to the embodiment herein chosen for purposes of illustration will readily occur to those skilled in the art. To the extent that such modifications and variations do not depart from the spirit of the invention, they are intended to be included within the scope thereof, which is assessed only by a fair interpretation of the following claims.
- Having fully described the invention in such clear and concise terms as to enable those skilled in the art to understand and practice the same, the invention claimed is:
