Abstract: A non-jacketed expandable bullet including a monolithic sintered body. The monolithic sintered body includes a base portion and a deformed hollow nose portion extending distally from a distal end of the base portion. Also, a method of manufacturing a non-jacketed expandable bullet including providing a monolithic sintered body including a base portion and a hollow peripheral portion extending distally from a distal end of the base portion and forming the hollow peripheral portion into the shape of a hollow tapered nose.

Abstract: A non-jacketed bullet including a monolithic sintered body and a sintered projectile tip. The monolithic sintered body includes a base portion and a deformed hollow nose portion, and the sintered projectile tip includes a base portion and a nose portion. A portion of the sintered projectile tip extends into the deformed hollow nose portion of the monolithic sintered body and a portion of the sintered projectile tip extends from a distal end of the deformed hollow nose portion of the monolithic sintered body. Also, a method of manufacturing a non-jacketed bullet including providing a monolithic sintered body including a base portion and a hollow peripheral portion providing a sintered projectile tip, inserting a portion of the sintered projectile tip into the hollow portion of the monolithic sintered body, and forming the hollow peripheral portion into the shape of a hollow tapered nose.

Abstract: A scented article manufactured from a sintered metal powder. The metal powder may be one or more metals, one or more alloys, or any combination or mixture thereof. The scented article is of a weight sufficient to sink to a depth in the water and shaped such that, when urged through the water, the lure moves in a substantially oscillating motion. The scented article is impregnated with a scent, such as a fish attractant, that is slowly diffused in the water as the scented article is urged through the water. A method of manufacturing a scented article is also disclosed.

Abstract: A projectile includes a compacted and sintered mixture of a plurality of tungsten particles that are from about 8 microns to about 30 microns in size; a plurality of iron particles that are from about 40 microns to about 200 microns in size; and a material additive. At least a portion of the plurality of iron particles are bonded together. There are no intermetallic compounds or alloys of the tungsten particles and the iron particles formed due, in part, to the size of the tungsten particles and the size of the iron particles utilized. The final density of the projectile is from about 8.0 grams per cubic centimeter to about 12.2 grams per cubic centimeter and the final hardness of the projectile is from about 10 HB to about 50 HB. The ratio of the mixture of tungsten particles to iron particles is, by weight, from about 30:70 to about 65:35.

Abstract: A projectile, including a compacted and sintered mixture of a plurality of tungsten particles and a plurality of iron particles. At least a portion of the plurality of iron particles are bonded together, and no intermetallic compounds or alloys of the tungsten particles and iron particles are formed during the compaction and sintering processes. The final density of the projectile is from about 8.1 grams per cubic centimeter to about 12.1 grams per cubic centimeter, and no substantial densification occurs during sintering. A method of producing such a projectile is also disclosed.
