The barrel includes a bulging portion having a transverse cross section with an equivalent circle diameter that is larger than an equivalent circle diameter of the bottom surface and is the largest in the projection, a bottom surface side barrel portion having a transverse cross section that gradually decreases in area from the bulging portion toward the bottom surface, and a leading end side barrel portion having a transverse cross section that gradually decreases in area from the bulging portion toward the leading end.
