ATF and steel core ammo

**Glock22** · February 20th, 2015, 06:45 PM

I was wondering if the ATF is going to ban wolf steel core ammo?

Wolf isn't steel core.

wolf is a lead round with a thin steel jacket with a very thin copper jacket on top of that.

Probably next if they get to ban m855 then hey, why not?

my belief is ,they will ban ALL ammo if they can get away with it .

The M855/SS109 is not steel core either, it is steel tip. The ATF can suck Dick's dick.

The Carl Gustav 62 grain AIM had up for sale two days ago is steel core.
Both pieces within the copper jacket will stick to a magnet.

Also this is HOT ammunition it's running 3078 in a 20 inch AR.
That is pretty much max load (3100 fps) for the 62 grain

^^^ Pictures can be deceiving. It looks too long and flat based unlike the SS109 bullets I bought for reloading which are boat tail. Picture below is not mine. It's from the website I linked to below.

I would like to see it cut longitudinally to see it's innards.

"But as our cutaway clearly shows, the M855’s prjectile is constructed of a lead core (darker, denser metal in the rear) and a steel insert in the front of the bullet (lighter colored, lighter weight metal in the front)." *Copied text
