no it is not steel it is a copper-zinc alloy.

Hi James and welcome. No, CuZn (Copper Zinc) alloy jacket with lead core. No, a copper zinc alloy, like brass, does not attract a magnet because both copper and zinc are non-magnetic metals, meaning they will not stick to a magnet; therefore, any combination of the two will also be non-magnetic. Cheers and stay safe!
