Ammo question

[XLF30]

And it was known to have good headspace before the event?

Hello Guys, I just bought some 1960's pakastani surplus food for my Garand from lucky g, they said it wasn't corrosive. How do I tell (always clean my guns after shooting them) if it is?

An old shooting buddy was quite a "cheapskate" too. When we would plan a trip to the range, he would go by the local Gun Shop, dig in a barrel the guy had for cheap ammo, and pick up 20 - 30 rounds for the trip. I don't know what they were, I wouldn't shoot them for any reason, but his M-1 sure smelled funny when he fired them. They didn't have that usual Cordite smell. I believe he paid about $10 for them.

He was also very lax when it came cleaning his pristine IHC. I would often clean it for him. One time when I took it home for cleaning, I found the top 6" of the Oprod pitted to hell.

Could it be the ammo? Could it be he only cleaned it like twice a year? Who knows...

It didn't have that 'usual cordite' smell because it was not loaded with cordite, no US or 30-06 was!
