I bought a case of 500 UZI Military Surplus ammo. Says it is "Non Corrosive" Anyone have any experience with this?

If that’s the stuff with the end of the bullet painted black, it is awesome.

It is carbine/SMG only due to being really hot I believe.

Well it says on the sealed can that it is for SMG use only. I don't know about the black tip? This surplus ammo is from the 1960s. I thought the black tip ammo was commercial and of later 70s- 80s manufacture?

With ammo that old I would def want to double check for issues before shooting too much ie corrsive primmer .

And def dont shoot it in a handgun that old stuff or any of the sub gun stuff is way way too much for most ... Def shoot in a sturdy SMG or the like only..

Arch is correct. Seller is not.

Above from '77 and definitely corrosive.
