    Best to just clean the gun after anyway.

    I picked up 1760 round of corrosive tonight just for stock

    Do you know or have a picture of what the cartridge headstamp is?

    There was a lot of "L2A2" that came in with a POF headstamp, which is Pakistani..non-reloadable.

    Stuff was advertised as non-corrosive. Some guys said it was good, some bad, I had some, they all went boom, a little on the dirty side as far as .308 ammo goes, but I had no problems with it.
