Okie rules on steel core

[glassparman]

It is truly steel core and not just steel jacket. I have pulled a couple apart. A lot of ammo from foreign countries was steel core during certain times because the steel was cheaper than lead. I have seen a bunch of steel core in 7.62x54r that was not marked by paint. Steel core is usually mild and not considered AP thus no painted tip.

I collect vintage military ammo so I'm always pulling stuff apart to check it all out.

Thanks for all the great info!

I have not read that no steel core rule.
Maybe I missed it but a recent search online did not prove that to be the case.

No centerfire .50 cal or larger allowed.
No tracers and no incendiary rounds allowed.

From the Oklahoma wildlife web sight.
More specific rules will be posted at the range so if you visit there read them and see.
