The article discusses the evolution of bullets used for big game hunting. The smokeless-powder cartridge was invented in the 1890s, while the Partition bullet was developed in 1947 by John Nosler. In the early 1970s, Bob Steigers made a bullet out of pure lead and copper which was capable of expanding and penetrating to its target. Moreover , Nosler created the Ballistic Tip with polycarbonate point while Barnes Bullets Inc. produced the pure-copper slug called the X-Bullet in the 1980s.
