Surplus 30-06 Question

[TnShooter83]

I have about 500 rounds of Surplus 30-06.
The Headstamp is "A AI 60"
I know who made it and where it was made SEE BELOW
What I don't know is if it is corrosive or not. I can't find much about the maker or anyone that has ever shot it. I pulled some bullets and the primer are BERDAN. I'm leaning toward CORROSIVE since it is BERDAN, but that doesn't mean it IS corrosive.

Anyone know for sure?



"Artillerie - Inrichtingen NV, (Now Eurometaal NV) P. O. Box 419, 1500 EH Zaandam, The Netherlands"

Nice little read. But it didn't help me with my concerns of the ammo being corrosive. I know that any U.S. made 30-06 Ball after 1952 should NOT be corrosive. But can not find out about the Netherlands ammo.

Thanks for the link.

Absent more information, consider it semi-dirty and clean your rifle accordingly.
