Seriously, does it? All the Russian commercial stuff seems to be bi-metal jacket, and even the Hornaday stuff is steel case.
Does non-magnetic 5.45x39 exist?

Hornady stuff may be steel case, but it's copper jacketed, lead core.

The range I go to uses the magnet test. If it sticks in anyway, it's a no go.

That's stupid, but I guess they want the brass to sell.
A quick Google search shows that there is no brass 5.45 unless you form your own from .222 Rem brass.

Their house, their rules. Doesn't bother me. I guess the SGL will stay an outdoor range only gun.

Logic that needs to be stamped out. We have enough enemies making it hard to own and shoot without ranges making it worse.
I doubt they care what the case is made of. The steel projectiles tear up an indoor range's backstop.

He said that if a magnet sticks to any part of the cartridge, then it can't be used.

This is what I have been told as well.

I know this is the reason. When I asked awhile back though I was told that to keep it simple, if it sticks it's not allowed.

In need of moderation
I'm pretty sure all of the non-military 5.45 uses lead bullets (Wolf, Bear, Golden Tiger, Barnaul, etc). But all will still have steel cases. I've had mixed luck with indoor ranges and steel cases, most will not take a risk at all and if anything sticks for any reason... no go.

Love those Combloc guns
Nope. They all have steel in the bullet core but not enough to classify them as AP hence why they are called bimetal since it is steel combined with other "less-mean sounding" metals

I know the tula and wolf 7.62x39 my buddy had at MSAR they wouldn't let him shoot because they failed the magnet test. Told him if ANY part of the round sticks to the magnet it was a fail.
