Patent number: 9500453Abstract: A wad or basewad for ammunition includes an ignition chamber. The ignition chamber can be integrally formed with the payload wad, basewad, or battery cup or can be attached to the payload wad, basewad, or battery cup. The ignition chamber communicates with a primer of the ammunition to receive and contain the primer blast for at least an initial period of time. This facilitates faster initial ignition of the propellant of the ammunition, and consequently allows higher performance levels to be achieved. Other advantages regarding other applications of this invention include cleaner burning loads, greater economy, and lower perceived recoil.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: RA Brands, L.L.C.Inventors: David K. Schluckebier, Kevin R. Cross, Ricky J. Buckmaster, Spencer D. Wildman

Patent number: 5544398Abstract: A full metal jacket hollow point bullet is disclosed which has a portion of the jacket extending within the hollow open front end of the bullet. The portion of the jacket in the hollow front end has a plurality of radial slits and reinforced pointed prongs therebetween. A rearwardly extending completely empty blind bore extends from the tips of the prongs axially rearwardly into the bullet core. The base of each of the prongs is reinforced at the mouth of the front end by a fillet on each side between the ogive portion of the jacket and the base of the prong in the hollow front end. These prongs project generally radially outward upon upset of the bullet in soft tissue after passing through barrier materials such as clothing and deer hide.The jacket has a coating of copper oxide on its inner and outer surfaces which bonds the soft lead core to the jacket and minimizes lead wash.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1994Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: Olin CorporationInventors: Alan J. Corzine, Jack D. Dippold, David K. Schluckebier

Patent number: 5164533Abstract: A method of assembling a pyrotechnically initiated explosive projectile having coaxially arranged, a nose incendiary, a penetrator core, a high explosive, and an overall jacket. A seal ring is installed between the nose incendiary and the penetrator core to preclude relative movement between the core and the jacket during projectile assembly, acceleration and spin up from prematurely igniting the incendiary charge. The seal ring has a front collar portion which preferably has a diameter greater than that of the inside diameter of the jacket so that the collar scrapes the inside wall of the jacket during insertion to remove incendiary residual so that no incendiary can lodge between the jacket and the penetrator core.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1991Date of Patent: November 17, 1992Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: David K.

Patent number: 5101732Abstract: A full metal jacket hollow point bullet is disclosed which has the jacket extending fully within the hollow open front end of the bullet. A plurality of radial slits through the jacket within the hollow front end extend from the axis to the mouth of the hollow front end. These slits form prongs therebetween which project outward upon upset of the bullet in soft tissue.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1991Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: David K.

Patent number: 4815388Abstract: A shot charge and wad structure includes a thick-walled plastic shot wad cup having integrally connected base and continuous sidewall portions which together define a shot pocket with an open end for receiving and supporting a charge of shot. The structure also includes a shot pellet charge in the shot pocket composed of tungsten and having a hardness generally at least equal to that of the gun barrel in which a shotshell containing the pellets is to be fired. An insert disk is disposed in the pocket below and in supporting relation to the charge of shot pellets in the pocket. The disk is composed of a material, such as aluminum, having a hardness sufficient to prevent any of the pellets in the charge thereof from embedding therein or in the base portion. Instead, the charge cleanly separates from the pocket of the cup upon firing of a shotshell containing the charge. The shot pocket can be either generally square or circular in cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1988Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Assignee: Olin CorporationInventors: David K. Schluckebier, Richard H. Olson
