	Hollow point bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite the ban on military use, hollow point bullets are one of the most common types of civilian and police ammunition, due largely to the reduced risk of bystanders being hit by over-penetrating or ricocheted bullets, and the increased speed of incapacitation.
		In slang, the hollow point bullet is also referred to as the dum-dum, and is similar to the cross point or X-out which uses two slits instead of a pit.
		A hollow cavity bullet is an extreme variant of a hollow point bullet.

	Soft point bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A soft point bullet is a lead bullet with a copper or brass jacket that is left open at the tip, exposing some of the lead inside (compare to hollow point bullet).
		Flat point bullets are required in centerfire rifles, such as the Winchester rifle, that use tubular magazines, where the rounds are stored front-to-back.
		Use of pointed bullets in these rifles can be highly dangerous, as the point of the bullet will rest against the primer of the round in front, and can cause a detonation under the force of recoil.

	daily discovery: Hollow point bullets
		A hollow point bullet's metal jacket does not encase the entire bullet.
		The point is left exposed, and instead of tapering into a cone it is dimpled.
		This causes increased amount of damage to soft tissue compared to a normal bullet where the bullet is encased completely in its metal jacket.

	HOLLOW POINTS AND MULE DEER
		After all, in the days of lead bullets, before jacketing was developed, the common way to enhance expansion was to hollow point the bullet.
		The hollow point was about 1/10th of an inch wide and 4/10ths of an inch deep, and was cast from a 10% tin-lead mix in an old Lyman mold.
		The hollow point proved to be deep enough to promote violent expansion while retaining enough mass to punch clear through large animals, even at longer 200 yard ranges.

	Bullet expansion - 1911Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Is it the forces against the bullet as it travels through the air towards the target, or is it the impact of the bullet upon a target.
		The hollow cavity permits opportunity for meaningful outward expansion, though the bullet cavity can also (and sometimes does) collapse inward, or become "plugged" by material through which it passes, so hollow point expansion is by no means guaranteed.
		During manufacture when life begins for the bullet, the mouth of the bullet is actually the bottom of the bullet and the solid face or core of the bullet is at the top.

	Cast Hollow Points: The Next Generation
		The hollow point accomplished this without changing the bullet length, thereby allowing the same twist rate to be used to stabilize the lighter bullet.
		When casting any HP bullet, it is important to remember to turn the pot temperature up a little bit (30-40 degrees, or so) and cast quickly to keep the HP "spud" in the hot mould as much as possible (and therefore up to temperature), or else you’ll have a very high reject rate.
		The bullet impact was clearly audible even at this close range, and she collapsed at the shot, tumbling downhill through the brambles and basalt skree, to the bottom of the draw 100 yards below, scattering the other 7-8 deer in the group (including 3 nice bucks).

	Cast Hollow-points and the T/C Contender
		At the turn of the last century, there were a total of 3 hollow-pointed bullets available for use in handguns, the Ideal 31133 (a 115 grain HP for the.32-20), the Ideal 40090 (a 168 grain HP for the.38-40) and the Ideal 42499 (a 195 grain HP for the.44-40).
		These bullets were marketed as "express bullets" for the lever-action repeating rifles of the day and the claim was made that they "increased the killing qualities of these rifles by 50%".
		These bullets were obviously made with fl powder in mind as they were designed without a crimp groove, relying instead on a compressed caseful of fl powder to prevent the bullet from being jammed into the case under recoil as they waited in line in the tubular magazine.

		The exposed lead at the tip of the jacketed hollow point rapidly initiates uniform, controlled expansion that progresses to the depth of the hollow point cavity.
		The lead core of this bullet is enclosed in a light copper jacket, which has a cone shape and a flat or cupped point.
		The lead core of this bullet is enclosed in a heavy copper jacket, which results in little or no expansion and deep penetration.

		Although bullet fragments were not recovered and photographed (the importance of bullet fragmentation in tissue disruption was not well recognised at the time), one must suspect the same very disruptive behaviour from this bullet as from the West German round.
		The rotation imparted to the bullet by the rifled gun barrel is sufficient to force the bullet to travel point-forward in air (in properly designed weapons), but not in tissue where such factors as bullet shape and the location of centre of mass far outweigh rotation effects.
		Generally a "hollow point" bullet is thought of in terms of its ability to expand on impact with soft tissue.

		The missiles of those days were however interchangeable, and at the battle ofTowton (1461) the commander of the Yorkist archers, by inducing the enemy to waste his arrows, secured a double supply of ammunition for his own men.
		The Lee-Metford bullet of 0.303inch (7.7 mm) diameter can scarcely be used in a rifle of smaller caliber, and in general the minute accuracy of parts in modern weapons makes interchangeability almost impossible.
		This was always the case even with the older firearms, as, owing to thegreat weight of the ammunition, the soldier could carry but few rounds on his person.Nevertheless it is only within the past seventy years that there has grown up the elaborate system of ammunition supply which nowprevails in all regularly organized armies.

	Expanding Bullets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When the hollow point strikes a material such as water or flesh, the bullet expands rapidly, allowing it more surface area to tear through the target.
		In this bullet, the tip and core are specially shaped so that when the bullet impacts the target medium, the soft polymer tip deforms and is driven back into the bullet's core, initiating expansion.
		The PTBT bullet (rifle only) is essentially the same as an HPBT bullet, the difference being that instead of airspace in the nose of the bullet, a plastic tip occupies the space.

		The round was similar to the Stg's in that the bullet was of the same caliber as the Russian rifle ammunition.
		These high speeds induce additional lethality through bullet shattering or expanding (the bullet is designed to expand or shatter when it hits the target), although these high speed rounds generally do not exceed the momentum of the heavier (but slower) bullets of the less sophisticated AK-47.
		Some have called for a reintroduction of larger caliber rounds to improve conventional lethality, or an increase in caliber in the 6-7 mm range, with rifle round velocities and lower mass bullets: a kind of intermediate philosophy between the smaller caliber-faster modern rounds and the standard caliber-slower rounds of the previous generation.

		I am familiar with the argument that hollow-point bullets are safer for the public because they are less likely than solid bullets to ricochet or pass through the intended target and strike an innocent bystander.
		From the literature on hollow-point bullets, it is clear that criminologists do not agree on whether collateral shootings decrease when a switch is made from full metal jacket bullets to hollow-point bullets.
		Moreover, given that hollow-point bullets were outlawed by the Hague Peace Convention in 1899, their use at an international border is especially troubling.

	Corbin Saber-Tooth Punch
		The Saber Tooth bullet tip is made by using the Corbin Saber-Tooth punch in a lead tip bullet design with hollow point.
		After swaging a quantity of hollow points in the core seating die, remove the die and replace the internal punch with the internal Saber Tooth punch.
		Be sure to order or have on hand a hollow point lead tip core seating punch as well, since the saber tooth does not function well without a hollow cavity (except as a full wadcutter for "string shooting" matches, where a weight suspended by a string is dropped by cutting the string with the bullet).

		PowerBelt™ Bullets are the most advanced muzzleloading projectiles ever developed - with all of the benefits of saboted bullets and none of the problems.
		Since the damage is done after the projectile is in the barrel, many shooters never figure out why their hollow or polymer points are producing inconsistent groups.
		The PowerBelt™ Bullet Starter solves this problem with loading tips that engage the bullet at either the base of the hollow point cavity or around the polymer point, not the nose of the bullet.
