I think a lot of the lacquered steel cased stuff over here is Tula, there's certainly plenty of their 7.62x39 over here.

Some of the ammo is steel cased, some has steel in the projectile as well according to t'interweb.
The above post probably contains sarcasm or some other form of attempted wit, please don't take it to heart.

Vast majority of Russian ammo is steel cored.

Tried some a few years ago and it patterned like a shotgun and i had to use the front wall of a foxhole to bang the charging handle to open the bolt. Oh and it was nowhere near that price. So great stuff all in all :lol:
