Richard, Most bullets in ammunition are not steel. They are almost all lead or copper clad lead. Very seldom see steel bullets in ammunition. Not arguing, but I don't know one indoor range that allows steel casing. They recycle casings and can not have aluminum or steel contaminate recycled brass. You can buy 99% of ammunition and not have magnetic (steel) bullet in a casing to make up the round.
Richard, the only bullets you have to worry about are bi-metal labeled bullets which are rounds like the example Tula here (It tells you right in the description) : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/98496/tulammo+ta223552+centerfire+rifle+223+remington%2f556+nato+55+gr+hollow+point+20 ------------ This applies to 9mm, .45 ACP, .380, .223/5,56 or any other rounds you intend to shoot. And yes, this is taking into consideration the bullet only.
Richard - if it isn't designated as 'steel core' on the package, pretty much any domestic commercial ammo is 'non-magnetic'. I am not aware of any bullet that is 'magnetic' other than some of the .223/556 "green tip" ammo. Like Michael, though, I have not found any indoor ranges that allow steel cased ammo.
