Wolf and corrosive ammo ?

[_N4Z_]

Now I know that Wolf claims their new production ammo to be non-corrosive.

I use it alot.

Has anybody had problems with it causing the type of pitting common with corrosive ammo that is not properly flushed with water after each use??

Just curious.

Why would you believe it to be corrosive? No modern made ammo in the last 30+ years use corrosive primers. Berden primed does not mean corrosive.

Had a problem in the late nineties when it first hit the market. No problems in the last five years besides the smell, but I'm finally getting used to that.

If it's new production Wolf, it's noncorrosive. If it's very early Wolf...well, they say that even the very first batch was noncorrosive and I say that it wasn't. I can provide two pitted bores and maintenance records to prove my point. Believe who you want to believe. Since then, I've become more careful about trusting what importers and resellers tell me about ammunition, and my bores have stopped pitting.

The Golden Rule: if you're not 100% sure that it's not corrosive, it's corrosive. You can't go wrong like this and you'll sleep better if nothing else.
