Funny how on the very box it says "Copper Jacketed"... just like the picture used to describe what I purchased.

But remember Cassius, quote:
"Can't imagine why someone would buy ammo on picture alone"


EDIT:
I would like to reiterate that I am not dissatisfied with Ammoman.com nor the ammunition I purchased. I am simply warning other Calgunners that despite the fact that their website advertises non-magnetic ammunition, it is in fact magnetic. I am close to Lytle Creek, so shooting this ammunition is not a big deal for me.
From time of order to time of delivery was only about 10 days, which I find to be very adequate.

man... i hope my ammo order with them is not going to turn out like this.....

although I ordered yugo 7.62x54R since they were the only place i found online that offered it at that low price. but if their prices aren't great, I would like it if someone can point me to a store or online retailer that sells Yugo surplus 7.62x54R for cheaper than .33 cents a round shipped that ammoman offers. (i am actually serious, cause since shooting my mosin... i'm kinda hooked.. haha and want to get as much non-magnetic ammo as i can)

[Crusader]

The Yugo 7.62x54r that Ammoman sells is great stuff. I bought 300 rounds from them a few months back and everything went great. It's really top-notch ammo.

[Scratch705]

good to hear. i bought the 600 round pack, and hopefully that should last me the rest of this year.... haha

[Crusader]

Doubt it haha. The last time I took a Mosin out, me and a friend shot through an entire spam can (440 rounds) in the day.

[Lucky Scott]

Holy Crap, 440 rounds between the two of you!!!!!

I am up to about 100 rounds per range day.
Of course, I also brought two shotguns and a .22 to shoot.
(Note to self, shoot .22 first, not after, the Mosin.
.22 Feels like a bb gun after big russian rifle)

[BroncoBob]

Doubt it haha. The last time I took a Mosin out, me and a friend shot through an entire spam can (440 rounds) in the day.

Damn, how did you feel the next day?

[Scratch705]

yea that is what i'm wondering... the first range trip, i only shot 20, and i just couldn't go further, since i still had to sight in my other guns.

I called Wolf about a year ago on how to determine if the bullets have anything in the casing other than copper - or would attract a magnet.

I was told, in no uncertain terms, they no longer manufacture copper jacketed bullets and had no plans to do so in the future. I have not seen copper jacketed Wolf in at least that long. I'd love to hear things have changed, but I'd be expecting magnetic if it's Wolf.

[Darklyte27]

I wonder if you guys know the difference between steel core and steel/bimetal jacket.

As milsurp 30-06 is NOT steel core, it does attract a magnet because of the bimetal jacket. Thats what I was told anyways.
My wolf attracts a magnet as well, the yellow box stuff is alot more and hard to find. but still shoot it.

[bridgeport]

Cassius is correct, The "copper jacketed" ammo always came in the yellow with black box rather than the black box. I bought lots of that in 7.62 and in 5.45 from turners a few years back. The Wolf copper jacket 5.45 was a 70 gr.
projectile as opposed to the lighter comblock bullet, the weight of which slips my mind at this time... I distinctly remember looking for the yellow color scheme.... still have the stuff...sorry to hear it is discontinued. I dont care about the range rules... even if I shoot on my own property I dont want to start a fire, and in the dry conditions of summer I try to be extra super careful. I was gonna go out and take a pic of the box to post it, so cassius, you saved me the time and trouble.
