Years ago a not so nice person sold me 400rds 30'06 in clips. It was Korean manufacture. I was younger and dumber and believed his add that it was non corrosive. Shot it in my shooter garand, original Springfield, costs me $300 back in the day. Discovered 2days after regular cleaning that the ammo was corrosive Now I had a barrel with some pitting. So, I have acquired a 1950's NOS GI Springfield barrel. My twisted plan is to shoot the remainder of that Korean ball through the pitted barrel in one glorious day of blasting, completely disassemble the rifle, clean it, take it to gunsmith and get new barrel installed. Deprime the brass, wash in boiling soapy water, and reload the brass. Good idea? bad idea? I want to get that corrosive stuff out of my ammo stores to avoid it getting into the wrong rifle. Could sell it, but hate to think of some unscrupulous rascal reselling to some innocent and wrecking another Garandicon.
