Copper-Washed Steel
Like a lot of Eastern European ammunition, this round has a steel case with a thin copper wash to protect it from rust, and a copper-coloured bullet. That gives the whole round a warm bronze tone, quite different from bright brass – and because the case is steel, a magnet will stick to it.
