tinyurl.com/cu4dmo1 April 2009 AccurateShooter.com U.S. Army Team Tests Radical New Dimpled Bullet Aberdeen Proving Ground - At the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground, a team of ballistics technicians, supported by some of the U.S. Army's top sniper instructors, has been quietly developing a radical new "dimpled" bullet. The exterior of the bullet resembles the dimpled surface of a golf ball. The function of the special dimpled skin is to reduce projectile drag, providing a flatter long-range trajectory, and greater retained energy at the target.

I saw that Woody, but I believe it was an April Fools thing. There were a couple other April Fool's postings that day. ;D

If it wasn't an AFJ... it would mean the military is interested in Ye-Olde-Round Ball again... 'cause a sphere is the only projectile that benefits from dimping...
