Default Express bullets
Here is what the typical EXPRESS ROUNDS looked like from approximately 1872-1910.

Tubular cores. So a wedged core in 1895 really is unprecedented.

Also the extremely rare tool to manufacture an Express bullet for ANY CALIBER! As listed in Ideal catalogs. They were special order tools but clearly available for purchase.
