1. A projectile, comprising:

  • a leading end formed by a tip having an ogive configuration;

    a trailing end formed by a frusto-conical base;

    a cylindrical mid-section interconnecting said tip and said frusto-conical base to one another;

    said cylindrical mid-section having a diameter less than a diameter of said tip at a trailing end of said tip and less than a diameter of said frusto-conical base at a leading end of said frusto-conical base;

    a first annular shoulder formed where a trailing end of said tip meets a leading end of said cylindrical mid-section;

    a second annular shoulder formed where a trailing end of said cylindrical mid-section meets a leading end of said frusto-conical base;

    a metallic band having a trailing end disposed in abutting relation to said second annular shoulder;

    a third annular shoulder formed where a leading end of said metallic band meets said cylindrical mid-section; and

    a thermoset polymer guide band having a trailing end disposed in abutting relation to said third annular shoulder and a leading end disposed in abutting relation to said first annular shoulder said thermoset polymer guide band comforming to the shape and size of said cylindrical mid-section.
