Do any of you know what year the US Government 30-06 Military surplus Ball ammo for use in the Garrand and 1903 Springfields became non-corrosive , or has it always been non-corrosive.
Malcolm-
The date of change to non-corrosive varied among manufacturers, and depended on ammo type (e.g. ball vs AP).
