Is this lead core?

[calibanman]

want to buy a load of this for the summer and just wanted to know if this was
lead core or steel. If it's steel and one of you point me to where I can buy some lead core plinking AK food.

Lead core but bimetal jacket. If you are in socal I think its the bimetal jacket the ranges dont like.

someone beat me to it..

You can test the bullet head with a magnet - if there's enough ferrous metal in it for the magnet to be attracted, most of the so cal ranges won't let you shoot it due to the spark/fire hazard.

lead core bi-metal jacket. it's usually a steel jacket with copper over it. usually a no-go at most ranges unless there in the desert.

AmmunitionToGo and Wideners have some Yugoslavian 7.62x39 that they say is copper jacketed. You can give them a try:
