1962 Lake City ammo corrosive?
« on: January 08, 2012, 02:01:23 PM »
So I (finally!) got around to trying out the match-grade .30-06 I bought from jc2721.  But then it occurred to me to wonder if that might not have corrosive primers.  Anyone know?

Hey Tom,
should be non corr. by everything I've seen
62 match is supposed to be damn good ammo
Last corr US made ammo was FA match ammo in '56 according to info I have seen.

Hi Tom,  the switch to non-corrosive primers was sometime in the mid-50's (to be on the safe side) so that can of LC is fine.  I've shot FA 59 match ammo that works fine and that stuff is non-corrosive, so no worries!
