Hi, Just thought i would show my Boys AP Bullets and there cores, first one is a Mk I it had a flat based bullet hardened steel core and two cannelures in the cupro-nickel envelope. Bullet weight was 930 grains of which the core weighed 570 grains. and the second is a Mk II and having a shorter bullet weighing 735 grains The bullet had a cupro-nickel clad steel envelope with a hardened steel core weighing 445 grains in a lead/antimony sheath.
Cheers
