Abstract:
A cartridge comprising a bullet, the bullet providing a radially expanding array of bullet fragments upon entering a target and also providing an increase in effective surface area of the bullet within the target by structural features that facilitate tumbling or mushrooming in the target. In an embodiment a pair of axial core members are aligned in a bullet jacket with the forward core member being segmented with separation junctures formed by engaged faces of adjacent segments. Impact causing fracturing of the segments from a base portion.

Claim (Index 11):
A handgun cartridge comprising a cartridge casing with a mouth and an interior, propellant in the interior of the cartridge casing, and a bullet secured in the mouth of the cartridge casing, the cartridge and bullet have a central axis, the bullet having an overall length and a maximum diameter, the ratio of the overall length to the maximum diameter is equal to or less than about 2:1, the bullet comprising:\n a jacket member comprising copper and having a rearward wall with a generally circular shape and a circumferential wall extending forwardly from the rearward wall, the circumferential wall having a forward margin; a rearward lead core member disposed inside the jacket, the rearward lead core member having a cylindrical exterior surface engaging an inside surface of the circumferential wall, a forward facing surface, and a rearward facing surface, the rearward facing surface of the rearward core member being seated against a forward facing surface of the rearward wall of the jacket; and a forward core member disposed inside the jacket forward of the rearward core member, the forward core member having star shaped separation planes defining a plurality of forward core segments; wherein the jacket has a plurality of axially extending separation structures extending rearwardly from the forward margin toward the rearward core member, whereby when the bullet strikes a target the jacket may petal outwardly, releasing the forward core segments in a circular array of fragments while retaining the rearward core member.
