GeneBray Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) It is missing all the graphics but the text is here. A great article on bullet profiles, COL, and feeding. You might be able to find a copy with graphics if you are a good googler. http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/showthread.php?65613-Bullet-Design-And-Feeding-Reliability-In-Semi-Automatic-Pistols Edited March 2, 2019 by GeneBray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
