Not quite sure but I believe that this ammo is slightly corrosive(if there is such a thing as slightly corrosive, either it is or it's not. Kinda like being slightly pregnant). I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable ammo experts can give you a definite answer being as you supplied a pic with stock numbers and dates. If you don't plan on shooting it I guess it doesn't matter.



Steve E.......

I would suggest that any milsurp ammo from WW2 will be corrosive - slightly or otherwise. If you are going to shoot the stuff you will get to like cleaning much more than you do with new ammo.

Give it a crack and see what happens .
