That's a standard indoor range line of BS. Russians don't use hardened steel, so I don't see how it could pierce their backstop. I suppose that since they can't really determine whether it's hardened or not, any bullet that fails the, "magnet test," should not be used in their range.
I had the same problem with the Russian 9mm and my CZ-75. Bang! Bang! click. Bang! click. I was able to unload it on my brother (gave it to him, not shot him) and he proceeded to run it through his Ruger P85 without a hitch.
