A plated hollow-point bullet has a metallic plating which completely encapsulates a metallic core. A core precursor is formed having a nose compartment with an inwardly extending cavity. A metallic coating is applied to the precursor to completely encapsulate the precursor. The coated precursor is mechanically deformed by grooves formed along a surface of the cavity without breaching the coating.
