While obviously XM855 5.56 is steel core, I have found that some of the el cheapo Russian 5.56 is magnetic not because it has a steel core, but because they mix iron in with the lead to save money. Also, M80 7.62x51 has a bi-metal jacket and it will attract a magnet, but again it is not steel core. So, while I think that no steel core (5.56?) is an understandable rule, ammo that attracts a magnet is not necessarily the definitive test. No green tip penetrator is what they really mean, isn't it? Any clarification appreciated!baldeagle wrote:New information. I spoke to Austin at the Armadillo Range. They have 50 yard and 100 yard rifle bays. They don't allow rifle ammo that is steel core, so if your ammo is magnetic, you can't use it.
I'll touch base with them tomorrow and get clarification.Bitter Clinger wrote:While obviously XM855 5.56 is steel core, I have found that some of the el cheapo Russian 5.56 is magnetic not because it has a steel core, but because they mix iron in with the lead to save money.

I call Dibs on shooting Pawpaws Dan Wesson first!
That's OK with me. I'm surprised you didn't go buy one after our last outing!The Marshal wrote:I call Dibs on shooting Pawpaws Dan Wesson first!
