Claims
- 1. A method of making a bullet jacket, comprising the steps of:forming a predominantly zinc layer; forming a predominantly copper layer; adhering the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer; and shaping the adhered layers into a form capable of receiving a bullet core such that, when a bullet core is placed in the formed shaped, the predominantly zinc layer is adjacent to the bullet core.
- 2. The method of making the bullet jacket of claim 1, wherein the step of adhering the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer comprises roll-bonding the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer.
- 3. The method of making the bullet jacket of claim 1, wherein the step of adhering the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer comprises cladding the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer.
- 4. A method of making a bullet, comprising the steps of:providing a shaped bullet core; forming a predominantly zinc layer; forming a predominantly copper layer; adhering the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer; shaping the adhered layers to receive the bullet core such that the predominantly zinc layer is adjacent to the bullet core; placing the bullet core within the shaped form; seating the bullet core within the formed shape; and enclosing the bullet jacket around the bullet core.
- 5. The method of making the bullet of claim 4, wherein the step of adhering said predominantly zinc layer to said predominantly copper layer comprises roll-bonding the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer.
- 6. The method of making the bullet of claim 4, wherein the step of adhering the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer comprises cladding the predominantly zinc layer to the predominantly copper layer.
