A bullet that makes the target explode

I'm looking for a bullet that makes the target explode. A bullet filled with explosives and explodes on impact does not suffice. It has to make the target explode somehow.

Currently, my only idea is a bullet that meets such a requirement is a heat bullet: when shot at a target with water (organic life forms), the heat stored in the bullet is rapidly spread to the target and creates a steam explosion.

The method of production and storage how the "make-them-explode" stuff in the bullet does not matter. I just want the bullet to make stuff blow up, one way or another, using the stuff naturally inside the target as the "explosives". The more materials it can blow up (instead of just organic, may be even metals) the better.

The bullet may act as something like a trigger or catalyst for the explosion, but the main material/fuel of the explosion should be the target.

(I'd like something as realistic as possible. Going sci-fi is fine but I'd rather not just throw "quantum" around as an excuse. Even answers blackhole or antimatter would be valid types if they meet the requirements)
