A disc for use in the manufacture of gun ammunition and a round of gun ammunition which includes the disc. A preferred disc comprises a mixture of metal powders compressed into self-supporting deformable disc that is incorporated along with a core into a jacket to define the projectile of a round of gun ammunition. The disc is frangible upon the projectile striking a solid or semi-solid target. Preferably the core is likewise frangible. In one embodiment the disc is incorporated into the ogive of a projectile. In another embodiment, a disc may be incorporated into a projectile comprising multiple cores, the disc being disposed between adjacent surfaces of the cores. This latter disc commonly is in addition to the disc which is incorporated into the ogive of the projectile. A round of gun ammunition incorporating a powder-based disc in the projectile thereof is disclosed.
