Abstract
A bullet, bullet jacket, and method of making the bullet and bullet jacket. The bullet jacket comprises a predominantly copper outer shell and a predominantly zinc lining. The bullet comprises the bullet jacket and a bullet core. The bullet jacket is made by forming a predominantly copper sheet and a predominantly zinc sheet. The two sheets are then adhered to one another by cladding or roll bonding, and shaped such that they can fully encase a bullet core. The bullet is then made by using conventional means to seat and enclose the bullet core within the bullet jacket of the present invention.
