If you answered “Brass,” then we want you to reach over and give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back. Go ahead. You earned it. We’d do it for you, but we’re stuck in this colossal ammo warehouse for the time being.
Seeing as how you’re already an expert on the relative costs of various metals, you ought to have zero difficulty understanding why Kaiser’s Turkish-made 7.62x39 ammunition is cheaper than any brass-cased alternative. This ammo has steel cases. They aren’t reloadable, but good heavens are they ever more affordable than brass cases. They are also coated in thin layers of lacquer, which helps them (A) withstand exposure to moisture in storage, and (B) feed and extract a tad more smoothly.
And guess what? This ammo’s 123 grain full metal jackets? Their exteriors are primarily made of steel, so you get to pay for even less copper than you would have had you gone with a nonmagnetic alternative. (Astute readers will note that we just pointed out the following: this ammo’s bullets attract a magnet.
Berdan primers: a common accompaniment to steel-cased 7.62x39, but completely noncorrosive in this instance. You won’t destroy your rifle if you only clean it as you normally would have upon firing Kaiser ammunition.
