ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a lead-free and plastics-free hunting bullet, preferably made of tombac, in which on impact with a target a cap, which is provided with wedge-shaped projections, is forced rapidly rearwards within the bullet so that the projections rupture the wall of the bullet internally with the results that uniformly distributed tongues or petals are formed within the target. The bullet maintains its overall weight on passage through the body of an animal and no lead or plastics material can be become transferred to the body.
