Good idea? bad idea?

[Wineman]

The Chlorate salts in the brass should not present an issue and your washed brass should be fine other than its age (may need an anneal). Older Mecuric (fulminate of Mercury) primers would kill brass (and barrels too). Use GI (WW2 stuff) Bore Cleaner or Balistol and water to clean the barrel if you use the KA ammo. Shoot the barrel until the accuracy is gone. Just my two cents.

Pardon me gents, this is the stuff I speak of. I suppose the Korean ammo doesn't use the same recipe in their primers...? To me corrosive is corrosive...apparently there's two standards of corrosive.

So which is it? Bob says it won't hurt the brass and Wineman says it will? I found corrosive primed brass didn't last as long...I never shot it, I got it fired.
