750 rd can of 7.62x39

I have one of these and was wondering what its origin could be, as well as if it's corrosive or not. All it has is the calibre and "750 rds" stamped on the can...It's galvanized by the look of it and opens on the side just like a can of spam. I can take a pic later-but not much to see. I would rather leave it sealed for now.

Chinese, but 750rds is a very odd number, maybe incorrect.

Only checking the headstamp will tell

Are there any very-faint stampings on the tin?

Chinese mil-surp, came 1500rds in a case, copper washed

Definitely 750. I'll assume it's corrosive...How do I tell if it's steel-cored? Will the headstamp provide the answer?

If the HS is 60/70s, it will likely be steel core. Otherwise just pull the bullet and check. Also likely corrosive.

Guess I better buy a Chinese SKS to shoot it with now!

UPDATE! found 2 more cans of it
