They had multiple factories cranking out anything and everything they could, so there’s a ton of variance on it. To the tune that multiple websites exist for the sole purpose of decoding the headstamps and determining the cartridge “recipe” so to speak. Haha. The most common and least valued is the copper washed bimetal jacket with lead core. It’s basically pretty looking ammo that is corrosive and less accurate than even modern non corrosive Tula bi metal jacket. The other variants tend to go higher.</p></blockquote><p></p>
