Maybe this will help fill the information void:
Cartridge of the month index cutaway or sectioned cartridges

This ones kinda cool .50 BMG Flechette made from depleted uranium. It was originally designed with sniping as a primary role, but accuracy was so poor (10-shot groups of 6 to 8 feet at 600 yards were typical) that the project was soon abandoned. However, as an anti-material round at closer ranges the flechette would penetrate 2 inches of steel plate or 2 feet of concrete.

Pretty cool website! Enjoy!
