Thanks, but other than a steel case, what makes it attract a magnet? how would I know if I can use it?

Steel core/penetrator, inside the bullet.

eg. M855 or XM855 alike. Its bullet is 62gr, metal-jacketed, lead alloy core bullet with a steel penetrator.

how would I know if I can use it?

Test it with a magnet!

why can't it attract a magnet?

The steel in the round may destroy the static metal targets at some ranges, as well as pose a potential fire danger (the steel may cause sparks that may ignite nearby foliage).

Ironsights in SD won't allow it. Right now I'm using federal but bound to run out soon...damn zombies. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction in terms of specific rounds?
