It says it the initial post, the title and even on the website that these are indeed BOXER primed.

Yes there were both in the original shipment, these are boxer!

guys, keep in mind that although the case is copper, the actual projectile has a steel jacket with a copper "finish" on top (hence "bi-metal").
A magnet will stick to this, making it a "no-go" at many ranges and hard on your barrels if that sort of thing is important to you.

it's no harder on your barrel than regular old milsurp 7.62x39,,,same idea with the bullet,all it is is a steel core within a bit of lead,regular copper jacket,,no harder on your barrel than regular hunting rounds.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that these rounds are lead core, steel jacket, with a thin (micrometers thin) copper coating (hence the term "bi-metal"), primarily for corrosion resistance of the steel jacket. Very different from commercial hunting rounds which are fully copper jacket on lead core which is much softer.

There was a very informative article in one of the gun mags that compared standard copper jacket bullets with bi-metal jacket bullets in AR-15 rifles and found the bi-metal jackets wore the bore out significantly faster.

Not a concern for me. All I shoot through my Norinco M305 is bi-metal jacket bullets (cheap surplus), but people with fancy precision barrels may be concerned. Certain ranges may not allow them either.
