I was talking to my LGS guy, asking him how with the cool packaging, they were able to sell it for less than critical defense when it's essentially the same bullet at a lower FPS (more in line with the LE load). He said, with great authority "Oh. Well you know it's got a steel case right?" No. I did not know. I still don't know, but he seemed REALLY sure of it. Hornady sure doesn't seem to mention it. Takes it off the table for me, other than maybe 1 box to save fo' shizzles and grins.
Tell your LGS guy he has it wrong. I just checked my .45ACP zombie ammo with a magnet. Nothing stuck to the magnet, not the case, not the bullet, nothing, nada, zero was attracted to the magnet. Looked like nice hornady high quality brass case to my eye and the magnet was not interested in it.
