Copper is a non ferrous metal there for no .
If it does there is steel some where, it could be only a copper coating over steel jacket.
Some ammo has steel cases and some have steel core for penetration.
If you note the add I attached it says Full metal jacket not copper jacketed.
There for if it draws to magnet it is steel jacket with a micro plating.
The plating is for looks so as not to rust, it offers little to no protection to the rifling in side your barrel for steel is very abrasive and hard on riffling, where as copper and brass is self lubricating and does not harm rifling.

A lot of people shoot this type of ammo.
But I would not, I have too much money invested in my weapons to use this type of ammo.

that's greater problematic than purely a rely of having a typical barrel. Ope Lead bullets - enable you to fireside a million,000,000+ rounds in a barrel with almost no measurable harm once you think approximately that the lead is so mushy. Lead is going down the barrel like warm butter on Teflon. Copper jacket - circulate like sandpaper and can positioned on out a barrel in as low as 8,000 rounds. although, any powder fee so as that it's going to deliver a projectile quicker than 1100 fps - will lead the barrel. Even copper gas exams - restriction the speed to 1800fps or so. So, to be certain that a as much as date looking rifle to fireside a bullet at 2800fps and larger - it ought to apply a copper jacket or finished copper bullet. Lead, in itself - does now no longer reason corrosion. Neither does copper. the vast majority of corrosive chemical compounds come from the burnt and unburnt powder residue left interior the barrel after firing....... The metallic for sure attracts moisture from human beings respiratory, cooking, bathing etc interior the place of abode and this mix of moisture and chemical compounds types acids that consume the metallic over the years.

The bullets you ask about have copper jackets and although most of their core is lead, there is also a steel center shaped like a cone. This is an armor piercing feature and will cause a magnet to be attracted to the bullet. There are similar .223 bullets ( the 62 grain SS-109 NATO load, and some 62 grain bullets available for reloading), and for .308s there are also steel core bullets made.
I have shot the .223 bullets at steel plates and recovered the steel cone shaped cores, and yes, they do stick to magnets.

Yes, it's FMJ ball, so it's copper jacketed. And no, it most certainly won't. It's a copper jacket over a lead core, and neither of these are particularly known for their affinity to magnets.
