Tell me about this ammo....

[EBR Works]

I was given about 400 rounds of this by a friend that no longer shoots. My only question is whether this ammo is corrosive or not. Anybody know?

[NaughtyMonkey]

Just curious but do you have a picture of one of the bullets out of the box?

[Fjold]

It is not corrosive, from what I've read Lake City started loading all non-corrosive ammunition in 1952.

That's high quality ammunition don't waste it plinking.

[kurac]

is that 7.62 X 51 or 7.62 x 64?

Either way, they are worth at least $1 a piece

It's 7.62x51

From what I have read, this is first year production stuff.

Hmm, $1 apiece... so I shouldn't link and shoot them through my 1919a4?

It may have collector value to some people, but don't count on retiring with the proceeds.

[Bug Splat]

Ooooooooo nice! That's some good stuff. Congrats

[brando]

Yeah, that's some old stuff.

Lake City Match ammo is some of the best out there. It really should be used for precision shooting rather than blasting. (IMHO)
Very good, very accurate and very consistent.
Selling it is always an option.
ps I'm betting you can do better than $1.00/round if you sell it

If you decide to shoot it, I'll take the brass when you are done and trade you for commercial brass...

Yeah right....you're such a giver!

Just so you know, that 173gr load was dubbed "Special Ball" because it's old and doesn't hold up well over distance.

That would be a shame! You should do it!

[NaughtyMonkey]

Looks good and clean. Any of the heads loose or down farther than others, I've heard of this with some of the old ammo.

if you decide to sell, Iwill take some... i would love to have 50-100 of the spent casings
