LCW 7.62x39 Nail Test

Great test and thx for the work you put in. Is this the standard way to test for "corrosive" I was wondering if a person could add a small amount of water to a case fired like you did to dissolve the salt residue and then use a conductivity meter to check the dissolved solids (salts). Would the readings differ from non corrosive ammo? What are the products of non corrosive primers?Different non corrosive salts? Could be a good test method I'm gonna look into this more.

Honestly I don't really know. That's beyond my knowledge.
 
You can just say it was a stud gun (correction - it's now politically correct to call them "powder actuated tool") -- but you better have one.

I've done it with Chinese and Czech 7.62x39. It's not too loud, though the primers can be pretty hard to bang off! If you're in a garage in a detached house your neighbours won't hear anything louder than a hammer bang.

I didn't wear hearing protection and was fine. You're NUTS if you don't wear eye protection.

You're not shooting a firearm, so I don't think you would require "legal discharge". That said, I'm no lawyer!

sounds dangerous to punch a primer with a hammer and a punch .

IF anyone is curious check out us solider uses a 50 cal bullet as lock punch ..

they hammered a 50 cal bullet when it went off it blew the guys hand apart.

so id becarful
 
So this test was for the primer only ? Corrosive or not? But can you have corrosive powder also? Maybe a water test is how to test ??? I don't know? Then again each batch of ammo you would have to retest?

Obviously you take the powder and bullet out first. I hope that doesn't need to be said.

You would think...but with society's trend of protecting the stupid from themselves (thereby fcking with Natural Selection), we are ensuring an overpopulation of abysmally stupid people.

Thanks to the OP for this thread.
 
I received my case of LCW 7.62x39 HP this week as advertised Non Corrosive if proven otherwise it will be used,I always give my Guns a good cleaning after a shoot.Good Luck with the Testing.
 
It probably doesn't apply to this stuff, however a while ago some stuff coming into Canada could be advertised as non-corrosive due to the lack of corrosive properties in the primers.
It was the gunpowder itself that had corrosive properties in it (to reduce/eliminate the FLASH signature) for that particular brand & Country of origin!
A test should be done for the retailer in question who sells such ammo?
(Testing the primer compounds & powder on their own)
 
Had a great experience with LCW 9mm. Comes from the same factory. I don't trust all the back kicking staff, before real shooting season starts. I trust CanadaAmmo and always been.

Hmmm I never thought of that. I wish I was set up to pull these bullets, but I have no reloading tools to try this out.
 
I'm glad to see someone put the LCW stuff to the test. I'm still sitting on cases of extra '71 Norinco which I feel is mildly corrosive. I bought it from Canada Ammo during their last deal and ended up with too much as one of the folks I was splitting with backed out after shipping delays.

I was thinking of grabbing a case of LCW FMJ as I usually shoot a few rounds of non-corrosive S&B after a session with the corrosive. Seeing this I'll stick with the S&B. I don't even know for sure that it helps but I figure it should blow some of those salts out before I do the usual cleaning.
 
Just the responses from this thread alone proves natural selection is a good thing missing from the CDN entitlement society. Thus far we have learned:
  1. in firearm community guilty till proven innocent thus all ammo are corrosive cause once upon a time one deceptive store lied about their product.
  2. Need reloading tools to pull a fracking bullet instead of just two pair of plyers which will damage the components that aren't being reloaded so whoopy ding dong.
