sorry you are wrong...you are not looking at the whole system.
reducing friction ALONE would increase velocity if NOTHING ELSE CHANGED.
but in this case things do change...partially because of the reduced friction.
the bullet moves forward, easier intially. this increases the volume of the combustion chamber( volume behind the bullet).
larger volume, less pressure,
less pressure slower velocity..
the " all things being equal" is what gets you...all things are not equal.

Since burn rate is a direct function of pressure (the exponent may be greater than 1 also) all things are NOT equal.
 
i happen to agree with that statement,
and it is what i said, more volume,
lower pressure.
maybe lower pressure is longer burn,
slower burn,
bottom line things did/do change.
velocity drops in this case , with a slicker bullet.

Saying I'm wrong, even in a firm loud voice is very different from showing me wrong. All either of you have shown me, all you've proven is that neither of you has actally tested your hypotheses.....actually, your GUESSES
 
you are entitled to your OPINION.
i am entitled to mine.
mine is back by years of shooting coated bullets.
an engineering background and a bit of common sense.
how about you test and prove me wrong ?
i am happy where i am.
as i pointed out your quote is out of context, because
coating the bullet changes the overall picture. a change.
ya have a good day al.
