The Lucky Gunner team shares many blessings. We’re courteous. Hard working. Good at shipping ammunition. But one quality we can’t claim? A solid grasp of Czechoslovakian history.
But here’s one thing we do know: whenever an ammo manufacturer outlives its country of origin, it’s worth noticing.
And you’ve already noticed it! This 223 Rem hails from the Czech Republic, where Poličské strojírny (wholly owned by the STV Group) put over 100 years of experience into its manufacture.
We like STV’s Scorpio label ammunition because they list out every alloy comprising its metallic components. These are:
• Bullet jacket: 70% copper, 30% zinc
• Bullet core: 97% lead, 3% tin
• Shell casing: 90% copper, 10% zinc
We’re only sharing these fascinating metallurgical details because they definitively answer the most common questions people have about foreign-made, affordably priced 223 Rem range ammunition: its bullets cannot attract a magnet, and its cases are made of brass.
Brand new brass, no less, complete with clean-burning double-base powder and noncorrosive Boxer primers. Handload it, if you so please!
