I expect they are steel underneath, as they are advertised as "bi-metallic."
Note that "Bi-Metallic" is referring to the make-up of the projectile. There's steel in the slug. That kind of ammo is frowned on at some ranges because of the extra damage it does to back stops. I believe it was used to better penetrate non armored, or light armored steel in war time situations. (I'm always open to correction) What you are referring to is simply called "Steel Case" ammo. And copper looking shells are referred to as "Copper Washed", which are steel underneath.

Eventually, you'll develop a feel for the right pressure on the ram and know when to stop and examine what's going on. Doesn't mean that you won't be bending any more pins, just means you'll be paying closer attention.
