Did you ever see the episode of CSI where someone made a bullet with frozen beef - that would not be magnetic

My question is - Why do you need to know?

Answer 3

Any projectile with steel, nickel, cobalt and even depleted uranium will be capable of becoming magnetic. Most bullets are made of lead with a copper jacket which will not be magnetic.

Answer 4

Most bullet heads are made of lead or copper jacketed lead.  Copper and lead are non-magnetic.  But some bullets are lead with a steel jacket or lead with a steel core.  Steel is magnetic.

Answer 5

Most are not magnetic, being composed of copper alloys and lead.

There is some special purpose ammunition with steel cores, but

they're susceptible, not magnetized.
