Abstract: An expanding projectile including a projectile body including a metal jacket extending from a tail portion to a nose portion and surrounding an interior solid core. In one or more embodiments, a tip portion is mounted in an interior cavity and has an exterior surface substantially flush with an exterior surface of the metal jacket. In certain embodiments the tip portion has a main portion forward of the opening and a tip retention portion that at least partially fills the interior cavity. In certain embodiments the tip retention portion includes one or more a fracture regions configured to, upon impact of the expanding projectile with a target, fracture or deform to expose one or more fluid pathways into the interior cavity and to a forward facing interior surface for initiating expansion of the expanding projectile.
