American hunters love bullets, and for good reason. Ultimately, it’s the bullet that is
responsible for making the kill. Jacketed bullets were the thing in the 1880s, and the
ability to expand or mushroom the bullet was developed in the 1890s.

Velocities increased to the 3000 f.p.s mark by 1910 and expanding bullets really upped
the ante between WWI and WWII. So many bullets have come out ever since, and it’s
impossible to claim that you’re entirely aware of everything that’s available.
