Yikes.. I'm glad I'm at a properly designed indoor range that allows steel core ammo.. Over here, most of the damage is from the pistol calibers.. Slow large projectiles bounce around a lot.. Fast hard projectiles either shatter or dig in without ricocheting. Our backstop is designed so the sparks aren't a fire hazard and it's tough enough to take ANY caliber out there. The reason we don't allow .50BMG (other 50's are ok) is the noise coupled with the fact that it's not a 50yd caliber lol
A penny found is worth more than a penny earned, because a penny earned is taxed.
MFS is still bimetal jacketed. No change yet as I just picked up some brand new stuff.Originally Posted by st1264
See lots of comments about bimetal jacket penetration etc but at the local indoor range here there biggest concern is ricochets.
Unfortunately MFS sticks to a magnet as well, I believe it's copper washed steel jacketed ammo. There's no steel core that I know of, but the stuff sparks almost as bad as steel core czech ammo and was banned at my range during the summer.
AND, (2. or b), take your choice) a steel core bullet is alot less likely to deform than a lead core (i.e. putting it's ballistic coefficient in the toilet) and therefore much MORE likely to result in a potentially dangerous ricochet.
It's either gonna dig in or shatter, so it won't ricochet. This was already tested at our range.

Are you suggesting that steel core bullets won't richochet? Really?
And you know this because you "tested" it at your range? I don't know what testing you did, with what ammo, distances or backstop(s)...but with all of the real world examples of richochets, you might want to test some more.
If you want 7.62 x 39 ammo that is non-magnetic;
Your best bet is PRVI ammo.
It's expensive though.
