   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Premium_Ammunition

   Hydra-Shok ammunition has a patented center-post design and notched jacket with a non-bonded lead core. Hydra-Shok is designed to provide more reliable expansion and deeper penetration than other hollow-point projectiles used at that time. Federal Premium claims that the scored jacket and center post design provide a "programmed" expansion.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_metal_jacket_(ammunition)

   Full metal jacket (ammunition) These .30-caliber (7.62 mm) full metal jacket bullets show the typical jacket openings exposing the lead alloy core on the base of the bullet to illustrate that a full metal jacket may not completely enclose the core. A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead ...

8. Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia

   .32 ACP full metal jacket, .32 S&W Long wadcutter, .380 ACP jacketed hollow point. For short-range target shooting, typically on ranges up to 50 meters, or 55 yards, with low-powered ammunition like a .22 long rifle, aerodynamics is relatively unimportant, and velocities are low compared to velocities attained by full-powered ammunition.

9. Hollow-base bullet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-base_bullet

   A hollow-base bullet is a firearm bullet with a pit or hollow in its base which expands upon being fired, forcing the base to engage with the barrel grooves and obturating the bore more as the bullet travels through the barrel. [1][2] Hollowing the base makes the bullet more front-heavy, which improves aerodynamic stability and accuracy.
