Wikipedia: The original round was a hand-made hollow point bullet filled with No. 12 birdshot (0.05") with a flat polymer cap.[1][2] To improve ballistic performance, a polymer-tipped round ball was introduced in 1987, and the current compressed core form was first sold in 1988. The formulation of the polymer was also changed in 1994 to improve fragmentation reliability.[3]
