States it is non-corrosive but who knows since it is 1990 vintage. It’s only a few cents less than new commercial ammo. Thoughts? |

As simple as it is to clean anything chambered in 9Mak and if it is no older than 35 years old, I would shoot it. I have shot much older than that before. Corrosive primers have an extremely good shelf life.

I bought some back in the day, ca 2000, that was packaged in 16 round boxes like that. It was sold as corrosive. If I were a gambling man I would bet that it was indeed corrosive. But, it might not be. Hot soapy water is your friend when cleaning guns that have been fired with corrosive primed ammunition. |

But the powder from 1990 is 34 years old vs new off the shelf. So if the spam can stuff is really in fact non-corrosive, I’d probably just buy new 9mm Mak ammo like Prvi Partisan. That’s my logic anyway. |
