9MM ID Info

[Pure Energy]

Anyone got any idea where this ammo came from, how old it is, and whether or not I should try shooting it? My grandpa gave it to me once I got my 9mm Taurus.

I believe it is canadian WW2 surplus. Its loaded good and hot for stens. It'll work, but I wouldn't feed a pistol a steady diet of it.

Yeah, I only got a couple boxes of it, I think I will try shooting a mag or two then keep the rest. I have a few different calibres and types of ammo from the late 20's and up.

DI = Defence Industries, a division of CIL, Montreal.

So I am guessing this is non-corrosive ammo then?

Good point. Treat it as corrosive until you know otherwise.

Does anyone know when CIL/IVI/DI stopped using chlorated primers???
