Always used steel Chinese ammo for sub loads as they tumble. Marty could you advise Gun City the Norinco steel cased ammo they are currently selling is banned?

Steel case and copper washed steel jackets ammunition isn't banned though many people think it is because a magnet stick to the projectile.
The grey area is the daft police description of enhanced penetration mentioning steel cored and armour piercing in the same sentence.
Some chinese ammo has a mild steel core. The only way to tell is to hacksaw one open if you find steel and can cut through it then it's not a penetrator in my opinion and should be OK. But plod has the final say I suppose.
I bet a lot of ammunition was unnecessarily surrendered just because of steel jackets.
I only replied as I did tongue in cheek because you mentioned it was steel cored .
Tipple and gun city are smart enough to be above board with this I'm sure,
