Help in ammunition identification

hipwr223 · 10-31-2003, 10:03 PM

there have been plenty of different rifle and handgun ammo made with mild steel jackets. As far as i know it does not constitute AP. AP is defined by the core material in the bullet if I am not mistaken. now if the core is made of tungsten or some other simliar hard metal, then the AP designation seems appropriate. Does this particular 9mm have a hardened steel core?
