Has anyone tried this ammo? Is it really non corrosive?

What's your experience with Reliablegun?

They are good to deal with very ... reliable. No idea about the ammo but everything I bought from them I’m happy with

I'd be interested in what people say about the non corrosive part.

 

[saskcop]

Very interested in this.

When in doubt, check using the nail test... Plenty of threads that explains the process. Basically, pop the primer of say 2 rounds over a nail and check for rust after some time. For reference, you should also detonate one of two primers from rounds confirmed to be non corrosive, as well as one or two reference nail that are just left as is...

I have done the nail test in the past and found that ammo toted as non-corrosive proved to be VERY corrosive.

At only an extra $25 for a case of 1500, dosen't seem that they are very confident about it being non-corrosive?

 

[Gun123]

No pictures. Can't tell if they are the same as what I have shot.

Bought a crate when it was on sale for less than the corrosive - manufacture date on the crate I have is 2000. Anything post 1990 should be non-corrosive.

If it is 1998 and newer manufactured I would tend to believe that it is non corrosive.

Too bad shipping to Ontario costs half of the ammo price.

 

[Bentsky29]

That's what kills it for me. Living in NS puts it at the same cost as dominion at canadaammo. So I'll probably go that route.

If it is wrapped in paper and comes in a spam can - I would tend to believe that it is corrosive.

Not always. Lever Arms was selling 1500/$325 for copper wash Chinese spam can wrapped in paper. Lots of people on CGN just “decided” it was corrosive but it was made in early 2000’s and was for sure non corrosive. Went through over 20 cases of it with no rust.

I was sad to see that supply dry up.

OP, Reliable has their own forum, you might want to ask for details there.

I bought a case of that stuff, nail tested it and the nail rusted over night. The stuff I had was definitely corrosive.

 

[Gatehouse]

I didn’t nail test it, just shot 30k rounds in half a dozen different rifles with no sign of rust.

I’m sure it’s possible that the factory found some old primers and just dumped them into the mix so there was some corrosive in there somewhere. I did find one round with a green primer and it turned out to be a tracer round, so anything is possible.

 

[saskcop]

Tracer round? Be nice if they included a handful of those in every crate. Make for some fun.

 

[Gatehouse]

Yeah I kept looking for more but only ever found the one.
