SKS fun

It work for meteorites, I suppose it would work for phosphorous as well if it had the velocity. Heres the thing: Barrel friction is many times greater than atmosphere friction. Pure lead melts in your 20 inch barrel after about 1500 feet/sec and becomes molten. Copper burns at 5000 ft/sec. Phosphorous is somewhere in the middle.

Pull a tracer bullet from a cartridge with vice grips and touch it to a grinder. Tell me your findings.

Ok, I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Nice work. I heard someplace the chromed barrel is actually bad for accuracy, this true?

Yes. Not that it is not possible to be decent, and perhaps it's better than it used to be but it's not the best. When the metal is prepped for chrome plating, it is etched or chemically eroded slightly. This is not the best thing for uniformity. When the plating is put on it tends to vary slightly in thickness, which conspires further against accuracy.

That being said I've heard the new Benelli MR-1s are decent accuracy wise.
