The streamlined bullet was based on the 7.5×55mm Swiss GP11 projectiles and slightly longer and heavier than the Mk VII bullet at 175 gr (11.34 g), the primary difference was the addition of a boat tail at the end of the bullet and using 37 to 41 gr (2.40 to 2.66 g) of nitrocellulose smokeless powder as propellant in the case of the Mk VIIIz ...
A hollow-point bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact with a soft target, transferring more or all of the projectile's energy into the target over a shorter distance. Hollow-point bullets are used for controlled penetration, where overpenetration could cause collateral damage (such as aboard an aircraft ).
Black Talon is a brand of hollow-point pistol and rifle ammunition introduced in 1991 by Winchester, primarily intended for law enforcement and personal defense use.Black Talon rounds were known for the unique construction of the bullet and its sharp petal shape after expansion following impact with tissue or other wet media.

SS192 hollow-point The SS192 was discontinued in late 2004. [59] It used a 1.8 g (28 grain) hollow point bullet with a copper jacket and an aluminum core. [34] The projectile had a length of 21.6 mm (0.85 in). [34] It had an unmarked hollow nose with a depth of 7.6 mm (0.30 in) and a 0.8 mm (0.031 in) opening. [34]
A 180 grain hollow point bullet was "acquired and handloaded to a velocity of 950 feet per second". Later on, factory-loaded ammunition was acquired that met their requirements. During the trials, the 10mm was found to be comparable to the .45 ACP (Not surprising as the weights and velocities were so similar), but the 10mm was found to take up ...
A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.

This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over-penetration and produce a larger wound, thus dealing more damage to a living target. For this reason, they are used for hunting and by police departments, [1] but are generally prohibited for use in war. [2] Two typical designs are the hollow-point bullet and the soft-point bullet.
