ABSTRACT:
An improved tubular projectile is described wherein an effective balance has been obtained between the design parameters of reduced mass/reduced aerodynamic drag, flight characteristics, and high energy transfer upon impact. An elongate tubular projectile is provided with an axial passageway, with a central section of generally uniform diameter and flared ends. Slots are cut into the leading end to assist with expansion upon impact. The tubular projectile can be used in sabot type, ammunition, full bore shotgun ammunition, and in conventional case type rifle ammunition.
