Do Norinco 7.62x39 bullets stick to magnet?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Norinco 7.62x39 bullet (not the case) will stick to a magnet. I'd like to order some but my range won't allow steel core ammo. I'm hoping that lead core means it will pass the test.

Thanks

If you are wanting to shoot them at The shooting Edge in Calgary, the answer will be no, you cannot shoot it there. You Can shoot it at The Shooting Center though, or so I am told.

Lead or steel core it's the outer jacket that's copper washed steel. I have both and they both stick to a magnet.

You can shoot it at the Calgary shooting centre

It's an outdoor range and I was told that I can use it as long as the bullet does not stick to the magnet so I guess I'm out of luck

Interesting... surplus 7.62x25 and Norinco non corrosive 7.62x39 stick to the magnet, Norinco 45acp does not.

HUH? did you mean the bullets jacket or the cases jacket? because it seems weird if the bullet jacket is steel, it damages the barrel? Soft steel maybe? LOL reason behind the stickiness is the core not the jacket IMO some one shed some light on this with pictures?

Hmm. This poses some problems for the robot I'm building.

bimetal; copper over steel jacket. standard for most x39. same for lead or steel core

I've cut a bullet in half.
They consist of Lead core and copper coated steel jacket.
Most indoor ranges won't allow any steel projectile to be fired down range.
The cases for these are also consist of a steel material.
