    Spin-stabilization and hopper loading

    I have been doing some research, and, with plenty of time on my hands everyday fondling FN303 cartridges and ammunition while sitting here in Iraq, I am left to ponder who is actually manufacturing the rounds for FNH to replace those used for training and deployments. It has been posted that AGD was the one behind the development of the rounds for the 303, and if so, the machinery is already in place for a level of production for these type of rounds, depending on the demand for them.

    Should one figure out how to reliably load a round repeatably, in semi-auto, possibly with an insert that would enable the marke to still fire a regular ball when needed, I think the stumbling block would be removed from actually using fin stabilized rounds for, at least, woodsball and scenario, if not elsewhere.

    More to follow.

    Got some initial parts to work with. Somebody was gracious enough to loan me a magazine. Yay. Still gotta wait for the Dremel to show up.
