Walmart Ammo Can 223

[TMF]

Actually, most of the Russian .223 is bi-metal jacket. Lead core with a steel jacket coated in copper.

"Steel core" has steel underneath the jacket but is not solid steel. It usually encases some lead.

True armor piercing ammo has a solid steel core.

Armor piercing rounds are usually use a tungsten penetrator. Steel core won't penetrate armor, not even some level 3 armor we tried it on, and that was stand alone (without the soft armor). Vehicle armor didn't allow it through either. True "black tip" AP rounds of the same caliber burn right through that stuff depending on the thickness and that is a tungsten penetrator inside. The stuff is so hard that it actually cuts small grooves up the feed throat on a M2 .50 cal MG by being pulled through on the links (using .50 sabot rounds with the exposed tungsten bullet, and that is a solid block of steel. It's real hard stuff.

Lucky, lucky. Weren't you guys running a sale on it recently? I was in a couple weeks back and thought that it was marked down?

I thought that was with a $30 mail-in rebate. The shelf tag was $179 last time I saw. Has that changed?
