Around 100 shogun shells, and a few 45 colt. Magnet fishing fun!

    Weird. I thought maybe the primers had steel in them, though after checking them it makes sense that they do not.

    I found some RP (Remington Peters headstamp) brass and mine is not magnetic whatsoever and I didn’t think Remington made any steel case ammo. Not doubting you or anything, I’m sure they made and discontinued many lines of ammo since the RP stamp started being used in 1960.

    I checked shotgun shells I had on hand and all were magnetic, even the ones with brass outsides so I guess they are coated with brass?

    Not sure if any of this info was useful, but I had assumed at least the silver colored primers had steel cups and that brass shotgun shells were not magnetic, but now I learned I was wrong about both those things.
