This ammo’s cases were imported from Eastern Europe. They are coated with polymer to protect them against corrosion in storage, as well as reduce friction that could complicate feeding and cycling. The cases’ primers are Berdan style, albeit noncorrosive. It is technically possible to reload Berdan-primed steel cases, but you would need special equipment, hard-to-find component primers, and more time and patience than you probably lay claim to.
This ammo’s 123 grain full metal jacket projectiles do not attract a magnet. They have lead cores and brass jackets and were actually made in the United States! This ammo was also assembled in the great state of Nebraska, which makes it a substantially more patriotic purchase than the Russian steel-cased 7.62x39 you’re already accustomed to.
