Dick's is selling Winchester centerfire ammo made by UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge Company). I'm a little confused by their marking. For example, 9mm ammo is marked as follows:
L9MM3
9MM Luger 115gr MC
Does anybody know what "MC" really means? The bullets look like they are copper metal jacketed. I even tried to scratch copper on one of them to make sure it's a copper jacket, not plating.
So does "MC" means full metal jacketed, metal jacketed (no jacket in the back of the bullet) or anything else?
