Abstract: A low velocity bullet has an elongated body with a forward end, opposed rear end and intermediate cylindrical portion between. In the forward end, there is a preset cavity designed to receive a resilient nose element made from an elastomer or other rubber-like material. Unlike prior flat-tipped bullets for high speed rifles, the elastomer in the forward end of this bullet is intentionally raised for protruding outwardly beyond the forward body end. Preferably, the lower end to the bullet head is folded and crimped to the bullet body.
