I'm sure you could come up with a tungsten core while reloading
I've heard of guys turning their own tungsten cores and jacketing them but that would seem pretty hardcore for just wanting to mess up the range. I can't imagine tungsten carbide is an easy material to machine.
I am unaware of commercially available tungsten core 5.56 bullets but that's not to say they don't exist.
That said, I still put my money on them having been sticky fingered from the military. It is the only way that makes sense to me that someone would be wanting to burn up such rare/expensive ammo and goes hand in hand with having no respect for others property.

Zimm1001,
Have you recovered any AP cores? Did anyone that day fire a 30-06 or .308 that day? The reason I ask is that a .308 AP bullet is much easier to get than a 5.56 AP round (as said by others -- not any known in civi hands). Just a curiosity....

I did a little basic digging on the subject and ended up only slightly less confused. Apparently you can own them, but your not supposed to make/sell them.
Good thing mild steel isn't considered AP or I would be hosed.
As I understand it, you can certainly own them and you can also sell them as long as you are not an FFL. You generally cannot import them and I am unclear on the legality of making your own.
Best,

Some people have a twisted view of how a free society should act.We do check the ammo they are going to shoot if they do not buy it here at the range. However. although we ask people to leave all regular ammunition in their car we do not search bags. I guess we will need to search bags from now on.
I hate it the inconsiderate actions of one or a few ruin it for the majority who do the right thing. What is wrong with our society today. People just don't care about other people's things anymore.
