I have some 5.56 ammo in strippers with the head stamped “IVI 86". I know this is from the Canadian distributor Valcartier but I am wondering if there is any possibility that it is corrosive?

Thanks

I believe Canada and the US stopped using corrosive primers sometime in or around WW2. I can't remember if it was before or after though. 1950ish springs to mind but I don't know if it's accurate.
 
Thank you. I just don't want to go through the learning curve of cleaning up for a few strippers of ammo.

Lol. I will have to dig through the dirt at the end of the range for the pointy things that were on the front of the brass things before giving them to you.
