Details
This 7.62x51mm Federal ammo is loaded at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, MO. This is the same facility where most of the small caliber ammunition for the US military is manufactured. When Lake City has excess capacity come available they sell it to the commercial market creating a great value for shooters delivering quality ammo at a reasonable price.
This ammo is great for reloaders who like the consistency of Lake City headstamped brass. This ammo features a 149 grain full metal jacket projectile with a bi-metal jacket that has a steel jacket with a copper wash to avoid barrel wear. The military designs their ammo this way so that when machine guns heat up the jackets won't be stripped off of the bullets but this ammo is great for civilian use providing great quality at a very attractive price due in part to the huge production capacity at Lake City's disposal and the efficiency that results.

Q: Are the bullets magnetic, that is is the jacket bimetal or have steel in the jacket?

A: Hello Mike!
The XM80C ammunition is loaded with a lead core bullet but the jacket of the bullet does contain steel and the bullet will not pass any type of magnet test.
