Okie rules on steel core

[glassparman]

Ok, just picked up a bunch of milsurp .308 that I think is Yugo flavor.

The projectiles are all steel core. I'm in Blanchard and I think I read the rules for Lexington WMA is no steel core or AP ??

What is the general consensus on steel core and AP in Oklahoma?

Dont ask, Dont tell! Dont bring attention to it and it wont be an issue.

Other than range specific exclusions, you are good to go.

save it for when you need to shoot through something like a car or truck,tree to nail a bad guy behind it..or sell it ,, imported steel core in .308 never seen that..

Good info.

Sorry, I should have said 7.62, not .308. Same caliber, different pressures.

I have a lot of steel core stuff from overseas. This particular ammo is labeled as 7.62 but no NATO specification because it is Berdan primed. Shoots good either way.

I looked up the headstamp.

Wilshire, Big Boys and H&H don't allow steel core on the range, don't know about outdoor ranges as I'm a snowflake and will melt outside if I shoot.

Fine at a lot of outdoor ranges if shooting paper and not steel.

Have you dissected a round to be certain it has a steel core? A lot of the Greek .30 M2 reacted to a magnet but it was determined to just be a copper washed mild steel jacket over a lead core. Even if not NATO headstamped a 7.62 marked round should have some painted tip indicator of being anything other than a standard ball round.

Yeah, it would be real rare being steel core like Leemozoid said. Most likely a mild steel jacket with copper plating. That is real common with M-80 ball type ammo and even Winchester White box 308 is a steel jacket with copper plating or wash!
