Thx everyone for the explanation, but this raises another question(sorry for being a pest about this

). So what your saying is that if I had a 124 g. FMJ and a 124 g. copper plated and loaded them with the exact amount of powder the FMJ one would produce a higher velocity. Why is this if they both weigh the same and are shaped the same?
