You have mixed different types of bullets. What you describe is a normal
armor-piercing round, as used in rifles and machineguns. The soft outer
part is there mainly for keeping barrel wear down -- firing a bullet made
entirely of hardened steel or tungsten would wear out the rifling in the
barrel in no time at all.
