Something else Joshua. This standard Russian made surplus round uses a 53 grain bullet that is constructed with an unhardened steel core (making it "NON" armor piercing) covered by a thin lead sheath, underneath a metal clad jacket. Like all Russian surplus ammo, this uses a non-reloadable steel casing that is Berdan primed. Unlike the Russian made "commercial rounds", this ammunition is manufactured using corrosive components and lacquer sealed casings, so weapon maintenance is a MUST.
