Monarch ammo

[allain]

Is this stuff non-corrosive?

I just bought 6 boxes 223 Rem w/55 gr. FMJBT bullets for my AR and 2 boxes 308 Win.

I thought this was Russian ammo, but found out a couple of weeks it was Prvi and made in Serbia.

I looks ok and measures out pretty much like some Winchester brass I have.

Thanks for any replies.

Non-corrosive as far as I've been able to tell. Also dirty in the 150gr and 170 gr 30-30 versions.

I am not aware of anyone loading commercial corrosive ammo anymore.

You have to be cautious of foreign mil-sup as it almost always is.
But no commercial ammo sold today is that I'm aware of.

Did you get teh steel case or brass case stuff?

Either way, both function well out of my AR and accuracy is fine for my purposes. I'm not a 100 yard "minute of golf ball" shooter; more like minute of pie plate. It does fine for that.

Monarch is Privi Partisan ammunition packaged and branded for Academy Sports. It will either be headstamped PPU or NNY.

RCMODEL. I've heard that the Russian stuff was corrosive. I don't remember if it was mil-surp or not.
Quoheleth. It's brass. I don't put steel into any my rifles or pistols.

D. Manley. This is "PPU" (Privi Partisan aka Monarch)
