TRIGGER TALK

The construction of rifle ammunition can be broken down into four components: primer, powder, case, and bullet. These four components, together, are referred to as a round or cartridge.


  1. Primer – The primer is responsible for igniting the powder. 
  2. Powder – Smokeless gunpowder is the propellant that the primer ignites and begins the process of sending the bullet downrange. 
  3. Case – The case holds it all together. Cases can be made of brass, steel, or nickel-plated brass and serve as the housing for the primer, powder, and bullet. 
  4. Bullet – A rifle round or cartridge contains a single projectile called a bullet. A bullet, made of lead with an outer jacket made of copper, is the component of a cartridge that will hit the target after the rifle is fired. There are different styles of bullets that we will talk about later in the article.
