Well, we have had deployed RamJet missiles since the 50s.(Bomarc and Talos) Havn't seen any RamJet powered shells. Have you? And we will both agree that Ramjet tech would be easier to transfer to gun shells than scramjet tech.
SR-71 (A-12) flew in 1962. It had a Ramjet powered recon drone, D-21. That flew in 66
