Sounds right to me. As an interesting point the sabot depleted uranium
round 
in tank rounds is VERY blunt - the nice sharp point is a windscreen.
Here the 
front end of the penetrator is not really in contact with the gun barrel
and 
does not go through the stress you describe above - the "shoe" does
instead.
