the core having a longitudinal core axis, a forward portion, a rear portion and a rear end, the rear portion having an edge, a first portion adjacent the edge, the first portion being frustoconical, the edge being chamfered to present a second frustoconical surface steeper in angle than the frustoconical first portion, and the rear portion further having a second portion oppositely adjacent the first portion, the second portion being substantially cylindrical; and
the jacket having a longitudinal axis and a socket extending in a direction of the longitudinal axis to receive the rear portion of the core, the socket having a socket bottom, a first socket portion, the first socket portion being frustoconical, and the socket having a second socket portion adjacent the first socket portion, the second socket portion being substantially cylindrical,
wherein the core and jacket are shaped such that when assembled together, the first frustoconical portion of the core is seated in the frustoconical portion of the socket, and respective contact surfaces of the second portions of the core and jacket mate together with the longitudinal core axis of the core and longitudinal axis of the jacket being coaxial.
