Is that a steel tip with a hollow cavity?
No, my angle was off so I lost the top of the core in the cut. It's a steel core inside a steel shell. The shell is copper washed Inside and out. While I was cutting, the piece of the outer shell just fell off. The only thing holding the core in is where the outer shell is boat tailed and wraps around the bottom of the bullet. Another point of interest, all the copper washed I have came from the same shipment, I pulled 6 bullets. 4 were boat tailed 2 were not. The ones that aren't, are about 1/4" shorter.
So two different sized bullets from the same box of ammo?
Did you / can you weigh them?
Seems really odd but I guess that's Chinese ammo for you.
I use to shoot this stuff in my SKS way back in the late 80's.
