Re: Internet Ammo Price Checks....
Sling an I did a fairly serious metallurgical analysis of the Copper-washed Yellow Box Chinese.
I thought it had landed in the archives, but I'm not finding it.
Bottom line, it's a mild steel core. (RB 85 or so....) Not "Armor Piercing" hard, but it'll go through a couple of car doors like butter.
I still have the pictures in my Photobucket album, should I need to reconstruct it.
If it looks like this:
It's probably this....
It's not serious AP, but it's better than average.Alle Kunst ist umsunst Wenn ein Engel auf das Zundloch brunzet (All skill is in vain if an angel pisses down the touch-hole of your musket.) Old German Folk Wisdom.

Re: Internet Ammo Price Checks....
I bought a fair amount of this from someone, late 90's. All of it on stripper clips.
I've never shot a single round, yet.
In appearance, it is more copperish in color. Yet, under brighter light and on camera, it looks more like brass.

Re: Internet Ammo Price Checks....
I've got 50-60 boxes of that steel core that wasn't taken, they did take my AK and SKS so I don't have a rifle to use it with. I think the Chinese ammo is/was much better than Russian."some people never let their given word interfere if something they want comes along"
The real problem with the world are laws preventing culling.
