Interesting Bullet

Ryan Kent:
Hi All,

I am working a case in which one of the bullets recovered from the scene has this star shaped cavity that I have never seen before and I was wondering if anyone has seen this?  The cartridge case recovered is Starline if that helps.  Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan Kent

Caliber and bullet weight would be helpful.  There are some folks here with strong Google-Fu.

Ryan Kent:
Sorry,
115 gr 9mm

Thanks

Axel Manthei:
Ryan,
do you habe a side view and a picture of the base?
What did it hit?

So far it looks like nothing I have seen before.
Greetings
Axel

Ryan Kent:
A few people have asked about a side and base view of this bullet so here they are.

Axel,
The submission says this bullet went through an adjoining wall inside an apartment and "severed" a water line.  I keep going back and forth with it being manufactured vs. just some fluky impact that caused that shape. 

Thanks again for all of the input.
