Description:Really cool section showing all the working elements of these ingenious shells from the powder cavity with the pusher plate above it designed to eject the balls out the thin walled nose in a forward direction. Also, the floating base cup which jammed the lead driving band outward into the rifling upon firing. Just an all around neat and educational piece.
