There is a Barnes military projectile already for the Grendel, namely the 120gr TAC-TX:
If it were me, I would still use lead, with a 7N10-type arrangement for the penetrator, with a thin jacket at the nose, that thickens at the base. It would have a concealed hollow nose.
Quote:Composed entirely of copper, these bullets have high weight retention and exhibit excellent performance when shot through barriers. Designed specifically for Military and Law Enforcement customers, these bullets function flawlessly in AR-type rifles.
