If you open the cylinder of any gun and look forward at the back end of the barrel, that is where the forcing cone is. It's a smooth countersunk taper or cone machined into the barrel end to "force", or to guide, or to align the bullet into the lands and grooves of the rifling and send the bullet on it's way down the barrel. Shine a light at the forcing cone and you can see the smooth area before the rifling, that's the forcing cone. Hope that helps.
