There is a formula for choosing the Brinell hardness of bullets based on pressure, not velocity.

BHN = Pressure (CUP) รท 1280

Probably more important than hardness is having bullets large enough to seal the forcing cones and bore to eliminate gas cutting as propellant gases try to push past the bullet. .001" to .002" over bore diameter are generally recommended.
