Hi guys.
I'm a total newb about old milsurp. I'm interested into getting a TT-33, but my local shooting range forbids steel core ammos and steel jackets ammos, like a lot of interior ranges. Are the milsurp case of 7.62x25 (the 1260 and 2520 cans such as those sold at SFRC and TradeEx) steel jacket/core, or they're ok for these kind of ranges? They keep calling them "corrosive copper washed steel cased", so that's not much infos about their core or jackets. Anyone has tried to cut through a bullet with a wire cutter to see what the core and jacket are made of?
Other than that, is there any company that makes "soft" (for a lack of a better term) 7062x25 ammos? The Norincos or the sellier & bellot oks? The Norincos are "magnetic bimetal jackets" so I would guess that's a partially steel jacket, but the S&B are "normal FMJ bullets, not steel cored", so I would guess they'd be ok (can someone confirm that the jacket isn't steel?), but largely more expensive than the milsurp or the Norincos.
Any other round available that's non-steel and if possible not too expensive?
Thanks to everyone who'll chip in with infos and ideas.
