WCC 53 was non corrosive ammo and even if it were the primer would have been the only corrosive component. I just thought it was interesting that I came across an almost 60 year old round that was only recently fired for the first time.

If you ever do run across a good deal on some ammo that is corrosive ammo dont be afraid to jump on it. Just scrub the barrel really well after you get back from the range, preferably with soap and water. That is how I clean all my pistols and my AR anyway. My wife is convinced I am the only person in the world that takes a shower with a AR15
