NIST REFERENCE MATERIAL (RM) 8240/8250 PROJECT – STANDARD BULLETS AND CASINGS
J. Song, T. Vorburger, R. Clary, L. Ma, E. Whitenton, M. Ols
Abstract:
Standard bullets and casings are currently under development to support the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) in the U.S. Based on a numerically controlled diamond turning technique, 20 RM 8240 standard bullets were fabricated in 2002. Test results show high repeatability and reproducibility for the bullet signatures on these RM bullets. Prototype standard casings were also manufactured using an electro-forming technique, and are currently under test. These RM bullets and casings are intended for measurement traceability and quality control for ballistics laboratories nationwide.
