"What about an all copper bullet? Has that been tried to anyone's knowledge?"
Back in the mid 70s there was a company that produced bronze bullets. I looked at (and swallowed my teeth at the price per each) that were touted as 'the ultimate .357 bullet'. The old gray matter doesn't remember much about them other than the extreme cost. As I remember they had 'gas rings' (like cast lead bullets) from the base to the rather pointy tip and weighed in at 80 or so grains.
I think that they would meet the ATF criteria as being armor piercing pistol bullets. I had no interest in them other than as a curiosity. They didn't last long on the market as I remember.
Bronze is made of copper, that's close.
