ABSTRACT:
A rifle or handgun bullet having a cylindrical base and a leading end of ogival shape extending for a portion of its length is divided into a plurality of sections by parting lines extending radially inwardly from the outer periphery of the body towards the central axis and terminating along lines spaced from the central axis of the bullet. The parting lines extend longitudinally the full axial length of the body of the bullet and, upon impact with a lubricious target, the bullet separates into individual sections which travel separately and create a plurality of impinging pressure zones within the target. The bullet is disclosed in embodiments with and without a frusto-conical cavity extending into the forward, blunt end, terminating in a plane through the juncture of the base and leading end. In the embodiment having the cavity, the radial parting lines terminate outwardly of the cavity wall.
