That's interesting, thanks. Have you come across the South African R2M2 head stamped ammunition? Muzzle velocity of 780 m/s (2550 fps), a copper jacket, aluminium insert and I don't recall it being boat tail. It was loaded with cordite - the cordite was ribbed longitudinally and hollow and it did wear my barrel!
