Wolverine has CCI Lawman 147gr FMJ and CCI 124gr FMJ in stock. Are these rounds copper jacketed lead, or "copper washed" lead? I cannot use steel core ammunition at my indoor range, so I need one of these types of bullet. Can anyone recommend a good target round with the correct requirements? Thanks in advance.

I'd say it's a given that you can't use Steel Core ammo at an indoor range but are you allowed to use full metal jackets?
The CCI's are FMJ...
I'm not aware of CCI Lawman...I have herad of Speer Lawman but I've never used them...

CCI and Speer are the same company "Omark Industries"
Richard Speer founded CCI to do the Rimfire and the primers... Sold to Omark in 1967
Vernon Speer (his brother) founded speer bullets to create bullets and ammuntion... Sold to Omark in 1975
Lawman is made by Speer using CCI primers and has been "co-branded" by CCI in the US at times..
The TMJ Bullets are Lead Alloyed with an electromechanical copper plating as a jacket.
The FMJ are lead alloy with standard copper electroplating as a jacket..
You generally will not find steel core ammo and if you do it should be more expensive as it costs more to make as there multiple production steps.

Most indoor ranges don't allow FMJ's either. Copper washed lead is ok. CCI and most other manufacturers make ammo with lead bullets. Jacketed ammo is more expensive and unnecessary for target shooting.
If you're not going to reload, you'll have to try as many factory brands and loads as you can to find the ammo that shoots best out of your firearm. Buying factory ammo gets expensive quickly.
