Hello everyone and hope everyone had a great Christmas! So as a gift I bought my self a 1120 case of Norinco ammo for the first time! Purchased at Target Sports in GTA where I also shoot and they had a little discount! Anyways it's illustrated as non-corrosive but I'm fairly new to the game and would like to know how to identify corrosive ammo? What does it leave behind? Will Normal cleaner keep it clean enough and why use hot water and soap? Lots of questions but would appreciate the answers! Thanks!

There is no corrosive 223 ammo I have ever heard of.

Corrosive ammo is fine to use, but the salt residue left after firing is not soluble in most bore cleaners! After a good cleaning the salt will still be there to rust your barrel.
Potassium chloride, like sodium chloride is very soluble in water, and simple warm water is what you must clean with to wash it away. Easy and cheap to do, but mandatory if you love your gun.
Oh, I concur with another member in that I have never heard of corrosive .223 ammo, the stuff you just bought should be non-corr.

Use it in AR's & Ruger's with no issue
Also when opened the wooden case and seen 2 sardine type cans I noticed a paint on the tin cans and in them that really smelt bad... Some of that paint was on the boxes of ammo? That wouldn't do anything? My guess is that paint is to give the can an air tight seal!?
