Do Norinco 7.62x39 bullets stick to magnet?

[st1264]

Regular Lead Core FMJ 7.62x39 is supposed to pierce 1/4 steel plates, steel core has even more penetration.

So I guess 30mm DU rounds are a no go at indoor ranges as well then?

Phoenix doesnt even allow steel cased ammo even if the round is a lead core. Reason i was given was because of the brass salvage they cant have steel cases mixed in with it all.

that's such a cheap reason for ban steel cased ammo

a magnet make separating them easy

I would be really surprised if you could get your hands on DU ammo.

Yeah I was joking around. I do have a couple souvenir casings though.

Is there any type of 7.62x39 available that will pass the magnet test?

[CanAm]

prvi will.

nothing cheap will

[st1264]

The new manufacture Prvi, S&B, MFS (steel case) may pass the magnet test... Have never tried it however. I liked the MFS when I was plinking... don't think there is any steel other than the case.

I have some winchester I think it is I got from a freind who got rid of all of his russian military guns and sold me a lot of 7.62x39 for cheap, in there was some soft lead point 7.62x39, which actually passed the magnet test at my range when steel jackets were banned after they caused 2 fires this summer (now allowed since the rain has come)
