Dunno lol. I just read the warning in my owner's manual. Might be able to test for the lacquer or polymer coating from the cases? I did run across this, it's looong read but very interesting.

Sorry for the hijack OP!
No prob on the hijack. I have been shooting both types of ammo without any problems but I also put my rifles together so there is no factory warranty on them anyhow. If I followed the manufacturers guidelines on ammo to keep warranty active I would have to buy the most expensive ammo produced to appease them.
The Bimetal projectile bothers me more than the steel case. These are steel bullets with a copper wash on them. Put a magnet to them and see what happens.

Chrome-Lined Chambers on a quality barrel were made to handle this with no problem ...
Also, consider that the 4#'s of powder required to load 1k of .223 would cost you $120, add to that $80 for some so/so projectiles,
and $30 for primers ... and the pleasure of not having to pick-up and process the "brass" (priceless)
Keep in mind though, prices are coming down ... waiting a month or two could save you another 10% or more

Well all manufacturers expanded their production capacities during panic. Now panic is over but it's not easy to scale back the production it involve lots of cost issues so production is high and demand is low means we gonna love prices cheaper than they were before panic.
Just as a heads up, my Walmart has gotten in Tula Spam Cans for $119. Dunno if it's just a fluke or if others will be stocking as well, but I was all over it when I saw them, my AR friggin loves cheap, dirty Russian ammo as much as I love cheap, dirty Russian women!
