For a bullet with a perfect half-sphere rounded tip:
Volume of tip = 2/3 * pi * r^3
Volume of cylinder = pi * r^2 * (length - r), or pi * r^3 * (aspect ratio*2 - 1)
where bore is bullet bore in milliimeters and aspect ratio is bullet length / bullet bore.

Accumulating variables, we get pi * r^3 * (AR*2 - 1/3), or pi*B^3*(AR/4 - 1/24).
