Bullet for big game hunting - has cylindrical body and conical head formed by pressing

摘要

The bullet for hunting purposes is made from a copper-zinc alloy. The bullet (1) is of solid cylindrical form and has a conical hole (4) formed coaxially. Lines of weakness (5) are formed on the surface of the conical hole. The bullet is then subjected to a forming process by which the wall (3) is forced radially inwards to form a bullet with a cylindrical body (2) and a conical head (3). This type of bullet does not make such a large hole in the animal as is the case with bullets at present in use. USE - Big game hunting.
