Smith W, member, from TX, United States, asked on March 27, 2022

Will this ammo attract a magnet? Does it have any steel inside of it like M855? Is this ammo similar to M193 in terms of its effects?

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Fortscottmunitions, Manufacturer from KS, United States, on November 16, 2022

From what I understand, the M193 is a lead core FMJ. As Steve said, all Fort Scott Munitions projectiles are constructed of solid copper that are carved out of copper rods on high-speed lathes, unlike the M855 which is a lead core jacketed with copper. The solid copper will penetrate better, keeping its weight and mass and shape when passing through tough hide and even bone, then tumble upon impact with soft tissue.
