I have some pictures somewhere that Speer bullets had of tests they did with jacketed bullets. They show a spritzer bullet being pushed into almost a round nose shape as it traveled down the barrel. It allowed them to re-design jacket type and material. I've often thought muzzle pressure on a cast bullet does more damage than we think just after it leaves the muzzle too. All tough things to figure out without the right equipment but we all know cast is more fragile to some forces than jacketed and there is no doubt a "paper jacket" helps with these.
