This steel-core BB has an electroplated copper jacket to prevent the core from rusting. Total metal jacket ( TMJ or full metal case ) bullets [ 1 ] are made by electroplating a thin jacket of ductile metal (usually copper ) over a core of different metal requiring protection from abrasion or corrosion .

Initial imports were nickel-plated steel-cased ammunition by Barnaul; they had their monogram mark on the headstamp at 3 o'clock. They were replaced by American vendors in 2014. Black Hills Ammunition makes rifle ammunition using Sierra Bullet Company bullets. GBW Cartridge of Venice, Florida makes brass-cased pistol ammunition.
By design, fully jacketed projectiles have less capacity to expand after contact with the target than a hollow-point projectile or a soft-point projectile.While this can be an advantage when engaging targets behind cover, it can also be a disadvantage as an FMJ bullet may pierce completely through a target, leading to less severe wounding, and possibly failing to disable the target.

WOLF Gold – Brass-cased civilian-market ammunition. (Unlike the steel-cased ammunition, the brass-cased ammo is allegedly more easily reloadable.)
Steel-cased ammunition had a combined code at the 3 o'clock position that was composed of the Roman numeral code for the steel mill (I through XXIII), the lower-case letter code for the firm that plated the cases (a through z?), and the composition of the steel alloy used (1 through 17). (e.g., IXw1).

Conversely, steel is more susceptible to contamination and damage so all such cases are varnished or otherwise sealed against the elements. One downside caused by the increased strength of steel in the neck of these cases (compared to the annealed neck of a brass case) is that propellant gas can blow back past the neck and leak into the chamber ...
