I’m confused. Aren’t bullets made of steel? Wouldn’t this fall under the Berry Amendment?

5.56mm SS-109 ammunition (NATO green-tip) has a steel core and penetrator surrounded by a lead slug and jacketed in copper. They’re real good for punching through cheap body armor, engine blocks, or bone.

Never. Bullets have to be heavy and soft to keep from destroying the barrel of the rifle.
