They switched from brass to steel in the 1920s to preserve the country's resources, and really haven't looked back since. One thing the Russians really know how to make is 7.62x39 ammo, which might have something to do with the fact that they invented the cartridge. I had a chance to shoot a fair amount of Tula 7.62x39 ammo recently, and I was pretty pleased with what I found. This particular load has a 122 grain, full metal jacket bullet. The jacket is bimetal, meaning it is made of copper and mild steel, so it will attract a magnet. However, the steel barrel of your rifle is much harder than the steel in the jacket of the bullet, so it won't cause any damage or excess wear. The core of the bullet is lead, and it's important to note that this is not armor piercing ammunition. The case is made of mild steel and has a polymer coating to prevent rust. It has a non-corrosive Berdan primer and is not reloadable At the range, I found that this Tula ammo functioned perfectly in a number of different rifles, from AKs to SKS's. I was a little disappointed with its accuracy out of the SKS, but I don't think many people are going to buy this ammo for bench rest shooting anyway. It was loaded to a decently high velocity, though. Tula 762 by 39 is affordable and reliable, and I'd say it's a pretty good choice for range use or plinking.
