    Identify 7.62x39 Ammo

    I have some 7.62x39 ammo that I'd like to identify if it is likely to be corrosive or not.

    First up is some Military Ball projectiles in Steel cases

    Then the same steel case but with SoftPoint hunting projectiles

    Then a different box of 20 Brass Cases with FMJ Ball Projectiles

    7.62 x 51 NOT 39. Its a mix of chinese and South African F4, some of the chinese has had the projectile swaped.

    The Chinese???? steel(1981) will be corrosive but the German MEN brass(1985) will not. Both will be Berdan primed I'd say.
