I find Turkishicon 8 Mauser ammo excellent. Light ball means less recoil. i don't need recoil, just hitting my target is what I want and I find it accurate. I don't shoot it 900 meters. Corrosive is no issue to the Turk army or me. I prefer it. I shoot 1939 dated, without issue and it's cheap. As you, I know how to clean my guns.
