A high density armor piercing projectile having a cylindrically-shaped penetrator core. The core has a length substantially greater than the diameter thereof. Encompassing the penetrator is a carrier body and nose. The carrier body being press fit on the penetrator core and having a stabilizing ring press fit thereon. An obturator and pusher plate are secured to the rear of the penetrator core. In addition, the design of the carrier body enables the projectile to be spin stabilized when fired from any suitable weapon.
