I stand corrected in all aspects: Not only was I wrong about the 
material of the projectile in this case, but also about that of the 
casing; according to the description of the image, it is actually not 
brass, but rather steel.

And no, I don't think the material you used for the case looks 
particularly pastic-ish.
