The bullet is a projectile that is forced from the cartridge when the powder propellant is ignited. The bullet is just along for the ride. The powder behind the bullet does all the work.
AM Shooting Journal failed in this distinction.
Yeah...I know...and in retrospect I realized that was probably what the "sigh" was for.
Shoddy journalism abounds, particularly when the subject is firearms and attendant items.

Regrettably, I have found the largest portion of stupid writing comes from the pens of so-called "gunwriters".
