Description:
Design and develop a capability to negate the powder position sensitivity issue through a precision design that may feature a reduced capacity polymer, aluminum, or brass case that compacts the powder load and ensures consistent ignition, burn characteristics.
Operational Impact:
This ammunition provides snipers with consistent groupings, improved accuracy, increased range beyond 250 meters, and better terminal ballistics for 7.62 mm subsonic engagements while maintaining a reduced signature without the need for pre-firing powder stacking.
Transition:
Commercialized available for unit purpose
