Question about UMC 45ACP Mega-Pack ammo Login/Join 
Member

This one has me confused (not hard to confuse me). Photo below states “Metal Case” on the box but description states “Brass Case”.

I found two of these Mega Packs in my ammo inventory (I think I bought these during the last ammo shortage because I had almost no 45ACP ammo) when I pulled out my 45ACP ammo can from storage (plan on shooting the P220 next week).

The factory loaded rounds in these two sealed mega packs I have ARE Brass. I also tried a magnet to see if the case or bullet was steel - neither were stuck to the magnet.

Can someone explain to me why this particular box says “Metal Case” on it please? Thanks

well technically, brass is a metal, specifically a metal alloy

"Metal case" is their sales term for a full metal jacket bullet. It's just an ordinary round-nose lead, copper/nickel jacketed FMJ like everybody else's

That price.

I remembering when I bought one of those for $35 during the great Wal-Mart clearance days of 2019.
