There may be a little stud sticking out the back of the bullet. I saw some other caseless ammo that was made that way. Kind of like the Hornady Lock-N-Load Speed Sabot except only half the length of the propellant. M25operator, could you dissect a round for us?

OK JFrank, done, but will have to post pics tomorrow from work. The bullet base does have a very small spud that the powder/primer compound cleaves to.

Timothy, the rifle fetches 100 - 200 bucks, ( sold for 40 new ) but the ammo is 85 - 100 bucks per 1,000. So my rig is worth 400 - 500 bucks at this time. I like that I have enough ammo to play with it. ;D I know your gonna ask, so here it is, paid a hundred bucks for the whole deal, but I'm not looking to sell, it came from the estate of a great friend of mine. It and a few other guns I got, remind me of him and his wife everytime I shoot them. ;D :'(

Thanks  m25 for sacrificing a round just for curiousity's sake.

Does anyone know what the compound is that is used as a propellant?
