Normally, I see a silver stripe in the middle of the can and the bullets have a silver colored tip.
But your does not, so......
Copper bullet with no tip color - You must know the date of manufacture and country of origin to determine the loading of this round. If it is Russian and made prior to 1970, this will be a 147 grain lead core "L" bullet with copper plating. If the date is 1970 or after, the round is loaded with a 147 grain mild steel core "LPS" bullet. Using a magnet will not discriminate between the two. The "tombac" jacket of the type "D" bullet contains steel and will attract a magnet as well as the "LPS" bullet. If the round is Czech or Hungarian and made prior to 1980, then it will be a 172 grain lead core "D" bullet. After 1980, steel core "LPS".
