Didn’t we look into this @Max Headroom?

Yeah, you did some research for me after I zapped 2x 7mm Nosler 120's through a spiker without either of them going kaboom.

I guess it goes to show that the perfect projectile that behaves just as you desire under all conditions is still a ways off.

That is, unless somebody's found it already.....
