Is this ammo corrosive

[esmith]

I know theres been a lot of threads like this but i would like to know if the ammo i bought is corrosive or not.
The ammo looks exactly like the kind on this website, id put the headstamp down but i can't read it. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAmmo003.htm

Yes ,that ammo is corrosive.

I found a round that had a good stamp. It says on the rim "b x n" then "85" below it. I dont know if that changes anything. The ammo that i posted doesn't have a stamp.

Alright i was looking at the ammo stuff on that website i posted earlier and the closest thing i found the had the "b x n" headstamp was czechloslovakian.

If it's Milsurp always treat it like it's corrosive.

I know i was just curious as to what i was shooting.

I usually clean my rifles out ASAP after shooting milsurp....But that stuff is definately corrosive and has to be cleaning very soon after shooting.

Nothing wrong with corrosive ammo. Just flush out with water as soon as you get home. Dry out, and clean and lube as normal.

Yes, all Russian surplus 7.62x54R is corrosive. I find that after promptly cleaning as usual a last pass with Windex and then a dry patch seems to work rather well.
