Abstract: Projectiles with amorphous polymer tips have an elongated body, the body having a forward end, the body having a rear end opposite the forward end, the body having an intermediate cylindrical portion between the rear and forward ends, the front end of the body defining a cavity, a nose element, at least a portion of which is received in the cavity, wherein the nose element is an elongated body having opposed ends, and wherein the nose element is polymer resin having a glass transition point temperature greater than or equal to 185° C. The nose element may be a polymer resin that does not have a discrete melting point. The nose element may be a polymer resin having a glass transition point temperature less than or equal to 225° C. The nose element may be a polymer resin having a molding temperature melt point greater than or equal to 330° C.
