ABSTRACT:
A semi-jacketed molded bullet having means integral with the bullet core for preventing separation of the core from the jacket is disclosed. The bullet is particularly adapted for use in revolvers and comprises a cup-shaped jacket having a small hole in the bottom portion. A small portion of the bullet core material extends through the hole and forms a retaining flange exterior a portion only of the bottom of the jacket. In one embodiment, an annular member having a diameter slightly larger than the jacket is provided behind the jacket and held in place by the retaining flange of core material. The method of construction of the bullet of this invention comprises placing the jacket member into a bullet mold with the hole in the base facing upwardly, placing the annular member, if desired, upon the jacket base, and pouring molten core material through the opening to fill the mold and produce a small degree of over-flow to form the retaining flange.
