Patent ID: 7036433

Claim:
A projectile having a longitudinal centerline and formed from one or more metal powders cold pressed into a core which is disposed within a cup-shaped jacket having a closed end and an open end, the open end being infolded to define an ogive portion of the projectile, comprising a further infolded conical distal tip defined on the extreme distal end of the ogive portion of the projectile, said ogive portion being defined by a first curved surface which is rotated about the longitudinal centerline of the projectile and said further infolded conical distal tip being defined by a second curved surface which is rotated about the longitudinal centerline of the projectile, said second curved surface having a greater angular value relative to the longitudinal centerline of the projectile than the angular value of said first curved surface of said ogive portion relative to the longitudinal centerline of the projectile, wherein said tip defines a continuous outer surface of said ogive portion of the projectile.
