Winchester 7.62 147gr FMC JB bullets

[jrpilot]

I just got some of these bullets. They are not pulls. New in a case. A magnet does stick to them as some said Winchesters wouldn't.

My main question and concern is if they will be harder on a barrel and cause extra wear. I got these for SHTF loads but I would like to shoot some as well with the kids for cheap plinking rounds. I have a nice barrel, and dont want to chance anything with it.

Im an experienced reloader, but i just have never messed with cheap bulk bullets.

Thanks for the info and help.

If you have a nice barrel then feed it some nice ammo. Leave the mixed metal crap for a ak74 commie crap

No, the non magnetic bullets you bought will not wear your barrel any faster. I can see buying plinking bullets at a much lower cost, but for SHTF, I load good bullets that are accurate and will expand on soft targets on impact, not less accurate FMJ bullets.
