What Is Telescoped Ammunition The term "telescoped ammunition" refers to a kind of projectile that is either partly or entirely encased by the propellant in the construction of the ammunition. To provide just one example, there is ammunition designed for both hand weapons and artillery. Telescoping is often used for caseless ammunition.

Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher’s Notebook for the twenty-first century. It’s a “soft” technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and “ammo guys” to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition. Ammunition Demystified topics covered are • cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction • propellants and interior ballistics • projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability • trajectory, dispersion, accuracy • barrel: manufacture, fatigue life • ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load development www.bulletology.com

What Is Caseless Ammunition Caseless ammunition, also known as caseless cartridges, is a type of weapon-cartridge configuration that does away with the cartridge case. The cartridge case is the component of a weapon-cartridge that is typically responsible for holding the primer, propellant, and projectile together as a single unit. Instead of using a cartridge case, the propellant and primer are attached to the projectile in some other fashion, such as either inside or outside the projectile, depending on the arrangement. This eliminates the need for the cartridge case.
