Q: Ammo Casings - Boxer Primed Brass (Note this ammo is magnetic) ??? Magnetic?
Posted On: 7/14/11 By: Bill
A: Sellier & Bellot's 7.62x54r 180 gr FMJ ammo is magnetic due to its bi-metal jacketed projectile (instead of solely copper jacketed) which makes this round more economical. Certain ranges have non-magnetic requirements so it's usually best to check with your range first prior to purchasing magnetic ammunition. On certain rifle loads, S&B uses a bi-metal material in the jacket which consists of copper and iron rolled together to save on cost. This ammo features brass casings.
