According to the link it's a crapshoot as to yes or no. You say no trace of rust, they shot that ammo in that carbine? Then they either cleaned it to avoid rust which you can do too or it isn't corrosive.

As Wayne is suggesting why not just shoot stuff you aren't guessing about or reload your own which is simple enough. Those loads are listed on this site, you don't even have to experiment.
