I have some 223 that says “Bronze.” Is it really bronze or is it just the branding?

[@mammouthlafouinne3678]

If it's PMC BRONZE then it's just the branding.. cases are made of brass.

[@gato_gamer8915]

some were made out of copper in the 19th century, because the gunpowder they used back then was lower preassure
