I don't know what the jacket material is. I've seen some that say there is steel in
the bimetal jacket, which keeps it from passing the magnet test.

The jacket looks like copper. Both the bullet and the case are
strongly attracted to magnets.

You can figure it out pretty fast with a pocket knife. Scrape a little
metal off the nose and see what color it is under the surface.
See if the magnet picks up the shavings.

Makes no difference. If it won't pass the magnet test, I can't shoot it at the range.
