Winter clothing can make it enjoyable shooting. Tight groups at -10, 20, 30 40. HA,HA.

Should try a couple boxes before you talk, try 7.62x51 non corrosive 147grain cooper washed. Not as good as hand loads, but you will be impressed. The Cold war is over Buddy.
What about steel jacketed bullets? MFS is copper washed steel jacketed.
I saw someone post a video and I noticed a sign on the wall beside him saying "absolutely no MFS ammunition" he was in an indoor range. Probably a safe bet that steel jacket isn't allowed either then?
Where I shoot its not an issue but I'm still curious. I like my 9mm MFS ammo
Steel is Steel, Whether it's in the core OR the jacket.
INDOOR Ranges don't usually let you shoot steel. It's quite simple.
Those steel jacketed 7.62x39's will penetrate through almost anything you can find on a farm.
I shot through a brake rotor last weekend. Yeah, not the smartest idea but I wanted to see just how much it would penetrate.
I don't blame indoor ranges for banning this stuff at all.
Just to add to that, Ferrous metal is Magnetic. Ferrous is the presence of iron. Iron and Carbon make an alloy metal called Steel.
However, Some types of stainless steel are non-magnetic because of the Nickel content.
So, To say "If the bullet is magnetic it's a no go" may not be a good term. But I HIGHLY doubt a company will use a stainless jacket in a bullet... Hahaha.
Anyway.. Not ranting, Just a little info.
I was a little Pissed off when someone that worked at Cabela's told a friend of mine that the cartridges he was looking at were a non steel jacket/steel core, and would be safe to use at a range that doesn't allow steel.
I told him to find a magnet and check for himself, JUST to be sure. He didn't and wasted $15 for a box of 20 rounds.
If you're ever going to look at ammo in a retail store, and you plan on shooting indoors, I'd bring a little keychain magnet. Never take someone's word for it.
Yeah... Steel core.
Cheap, but the bane of steel back stops and steel targets..
Despite warnings there's always some tool who doesn't know/understand what "No steel core ammo please" means.
These are MGM Auto-Poppers... Made from AR500 steel.
The holes... 'Courtesy of someone either ignoring or not understanding "No steel core ammo please"
They're pretty much scrap now
Bernie Rhodes knows. Don't Argue
My range has had a ban on steel core ammo for a few months because of fire threats. We actually had a slow-burn fire start out at the 200 yard line in an old stump piled with branches and stuff. So I can say for a fact that fires can result from steel core ammo, it's not just paranoia. They also totally obliterate steel targets, which is really annoying when some jerk on the firing line doesn't understand manners and unloads some cheap surplus garbage out of his AR into your nice steel swinging targets.
