Abstract
An ammunition projectile of enhanced flight characteristics, having a boat tail portion and including a circular land provided on the rear surface of the boat tail portion and concentric with the longitudinal centerline of the projectile, the land having a circular concave wall extending from the flat rear face of the boat tail portion to a circular flat surface of the land. Among other things, the projectile exhibits a lesser rate of velocity deceleration along its flight path to a target than like projectiles that do not include the land.
