Most all commie surplus ammo will have a steel bullet jacket with the exception of Yugoslavian,there surplus 7.62 x 54r/X39 and X25 ammo all have copper jacket and lead core and is not magnetic. All other commie ammo with have either a lead or steel core.

On the Winchester bulk bullets, 147 gr. FMJBT it's possible they could well have steel jacket lead core bullets. Winchester makes said bullet to NATO specification for us in LC X51 ammo as well as the standard copper jacket lead core 147 gr. FMJBT,same bullet different jacket construction. You cant really tell the difference except on is magnetic and the other is not.
