7.92, what have I got here ?

Bought these at the gun show to shoot out of my Hakim. Seems unusual to have Cyrillic text on a package of this caliber. Thinking Yugoslavian by the inside cardboard stamping . Is it corrosive?

Yugoslav 7.92x57 or 8x57 Mauser surplus. It has corrosive primers so make sure you clean accordingly soon after shooting.

If it's surplus it's corrosive.
Keep that in mind at all time's if you ask yourself if you have to clean it.
I had a friend that fired a couple mag's full of ammo thru his minty No4T. He was told it wasn't corrosive so he didn't even look at at it for a month,even tho I kept bugging him to do so.
It was corrosive.
