ABSTRACT:
A projectile suitable for example for hunting purposes, with a body tapering toward its forward end, comprising in the area of its tapered forward end a plurality of weakened locations in the form of cuts and/or notches extending at an angle obliquely to its longitudinal axis. The cuts or notches offer resistance to the rotation of the projectile in flight, so that the rotation of the projectile will be braked in flight, and projectile will drop rapidly after passing through the range of the target desired. Upon impact on a target, however, the rotation of the projectile, reduced while in flight, is appreciably enhanced and a cleaner entry and passage of the projectile is attained.
