Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
A reusable blank cartridge comprising: a cylindrical body having a bore therethrough with an open head portion, said bore having its inner end terminating in a bevel tapered inwardly at an angle of from 55* to 60* from the vertical axis of said cartridge, said bevel terminating in a lower bore which in turn terminates in an opening having an inner diameter substantially larger than the diameter of said lower bore, said open head portion having an inside diameter larger than the inside diameter of said cylindrical body and having an annular recess with side walls parallel to the vertical axis of said cylindrical body, said annular recess having a diameter larger than the diameter of said open head portion; a convexity formed in the inner wall of said open head portion and above said annular recess; an annular base having an inner recess formed to receive a gun primer, said annular base having a flange with an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of said cylindrical body; and an annular recess with side walls parallel to the vertical axis of said cylindrical body and formed in said cylindrical body in its outer diameter above said annular base.
