Copper-washed ammo looks bronze, and is usually done on steel-cased ammo, so the bullet and case both look bronze. Lots of Russian 7.62x54R and old 9mm Mak ammo like this.
Most steel-jacketed bullets are copper plated. Copper plating looks just like a standard copper jacket. The way to determine if the jacket is steel underneath is to use a magnet to test it. A magnet will stick strongly to a steel jacket, and mildly to a steel core. None of the SA is steel-core. -Troy |

All of the Portuguese ammo that I've tested is copper-plated-steel jacketed.

Thats a little more difficult when its sealed in battlepacks. Unless you have a somewhat powerful magnet. |

Just go to a Goodwill or something and by a cheap pair of speakers...take one of those with you ( keep it WELL AWAY from your wallet....magnets destroy credit and bank cards! ) and if you feel the magnet pull toward the pack...you'll know. Speaker magnets are plenty strong.
