I'm trying to discover how much of the projectile is actually the steel jacket and how much is other materials. No luck so far, but if anyone comes across a highly technical website full of specifics about various 7.62x51mm military ammunition types, by all means share.
Ideally, I'd want projectiles that are mostly iron, as with TL6-7 AP rounds, the WWII 9x19mm sintered iron pistol bullets that the Germans fielded near the end of the war and some Soviet rounds.
