Mono-metal solid bullets are more expensive than traditional jacketed hollow point boat-tail VLD bullets. [ citation needed ] To reduce damage to the employed barrel and increase muzzle velocity, some modern mono-metal VLD bullets are bore-riding bullets, in which thin driving bands are the only parts that are etched by a barrel's lands.
A hunting flat nosed cast bullet will hold together without expanding and carry a large amount of air envelope with it causing a great amount of cavitation and wounding. Since it is cavitation that does most of the damage when a bullet strikes a game animal this means the flat nose bullet is an extremely effective hunting design.

Jacketed lead: bullets intended for even higher-velocity applications generally have a lead core that is jacketed or plated with gilding metal, cupronickel, copper alloys, or steel; a thin layer of harder metal protects the softer lead core when the bullet is passing through the barrel and during flight, which allows delivering the bullet ...

CCI partnered with Steven Rinella of MeatEater to produce and market this product line. The MeatEater line of ammunition includes Copper-22, Mini-Mag, and Maxi-Mag ...
A spitzer bullet (from German: Spitzgeschoss, "point shot") is a munitions term, primarily regarding fully-powered and intermediate small-arms ammunition, describing bullets featuring an aerodynamically pointed nose shape, called a spire point, sometimes combined with a tapered base, called a boat tail (then a spitzer boat-tail bullet), in order to reduce drag and obtain a lower drag ...
