Lead-free partial fragmentation bullet with separation mechanism between the rear of the bullet and bullet ogive

Abstract

The invention relates to a lead-free partial fragmentation bullet comprising a bullet jacket, a rear core compressed therein, and a nose core compressed in the ogive region, wherein the tip core sits on the rear core. In order that the rear core does not separate from the contacting bullet jacket upon striking a target body and to thereby guarantee a sure exit wound out of the target body, a predetermined breaking point is proposed which is arranged between the rear core and the nose core. The rear core has a molded recess on the end thereof facing the nose core, the end of the nose core facing the tail core fills in said recess, and the bullet jacket has a peripheral break away edge on the outer circumference in the region of the predetermined breaking point.
