Korean Era Ammo Safe or Not?
I have several hundred .30 carbine GI cartridges all marked LC 52. It's been in my possession for some 40+ years. I want to shoot it but have read so much chatter about Korean era ammo's corrosive qualities that I hesitate to use it.
Does anyone have the real skinny concerning this ammo?
If the primer contains the problem materials it would be difficult to reload this stuff because I would like to pull the bullets and shoot the primer which would then cause corrosion. This then becomes a perfect "catch 22" Also pulling bullets from these things is very difficult, I've tried and usually damage the bullet in the process.
Hope someone that is in the know can offer some direction.
Regards,
HAM
