Abstract
A method of manufacturing a hollow point bullet and the product resulting therefrom. A core is first formed from a deformable first metal and the entire core is electroplated with a second metal. A partially electroplated cavity is then formed within one end of the core with slits through the second metal along the cavity walls. The core is formed into its final shape in such a manner that the walls of the cavity are inclined at a desired angle relative to the axis core and the slits are extended to the circumferential edge of the cavity.
