I'd go with 12pr and not AP, more solid practice with a flat pointy end like that.

Has it got C I on the base? or P? and yes the bands are that way round, the front taper is because its SL and the rear taper is for the copper pushed out of the way by the rifling to have somewhere to go and still provide rotation grip. Very similar to the 25pr shot's band.
