Never had a problem. ...Dirty who cares your going to Clean you baby anyhow
Again, I don't find this ammo do be dirty at all, no dirtier than the factory ammo I used. Tried some Wolf LRN last year, now that stuff was filthy!

It's not similar to the 7.62x39 from Norinco?Originally Posted by firestorm79
FMJ with Lead core.. I cut one of the bullets in half, and it does have a lead core but also has a copper coated steel jacket.
Can someone take a magnet to one of the cartridges? So that we can know for sure?
(NOT Trying to stir things up here.. I just need a solid answer before I buy a case. I was told the 7.62x39 Norinco was FMJ Lead core, Which it is, but also has a steel jacket. Now I have 1200 rounds that I can't shoot anywhere.)
I'm not going to buy something that I can only use on someone's farm or something.
EDIT: I just saw the top post confirming that it's non magnetic. A few more people testing their ammo would be nice as well!
Soulfly... the ammo is lead encased in a copper jacket except for the bottom. As firestorm said, there is no steel in the .45 ACP ammo. I know, I've gone through 4000 rounds of it so far.
Here is the ass end of the bullet still wearing part of it's copper jacket:
And here's the front of the bullet showing the lead of the bullet:
FMJ = Full Metal Jacket - a copper coat over lead. Ass end is exposed lead.
TMJ = Total Metal Jacket - a copper coat over lead. Even ass end is covered in copper
Steel Core FMJ (armor piercing)= A steel rod encased sometimes inside a thin layer of lead and then is covered in a copper coat. Ass end is exposed.
This shows the steel rods and the copper coatings. This is 7.62x39 Steel Core FMJ shot from my CZ-858:

The x39 uses a bimetal jacket.
the 45 uses gilding metal aka copper (actually 90/10)
no steel in the 45 jackets

Agreed! This Chinese stuff is AWESOME!! Not any dirtier than the rest and goes POP almost every time! 1500 rounds in and only 1 dud. Awesome!
That's not really true in my experience. The Norinco stuff has always been way dirtier than American ammo. But the price makes up for it.

Just ran 7 mags through my P220 and 4 mags through Kimber 1911 of my recent purchase of the ammo/can combo .... nary a problem, not really dirtier than anything I have used, maybe a tad ( not sure of Metric equivalent) I will be placing another order soon!!
Cheers!
I hate autocorrect. I always end up posting some thong I didn't Nintendo.
Why is that you can't shoot anywhere steel cased, lead core ammunition?
