reloading corrosive ammo to non-corrosive ammo?
I have a nagant 91/30 rifle, I bought some 27grn. Ammo and (I love this stuff it makes a mess of your target) I did the rust test with a shell and a shovel and the next day it was rusty in the same spot I fired the shell (bullet and powder were removed) I want to know if I can change the brass/powder to make it non-corrosive (shells in question are steel I think they are green)
Thanks, JBD
first off, it's not so much the powder, it's the mercury etc in the old style primers that is corrosive. Secondly, if it's steel cased, forget reloadign it, you'd just ruin your dies. The best thng to do, especially in a bolt action gun, is to shoot it as much as you want for target practice etc. make sure you clean it thoroughly afterwords, believe it or not the simplest and best means of cleaning the rifle after shooting corrosive ammo, is good old hot water and dishsoap. Clean thoroughly with that, then dry with compressed air etc and then give it a complete workover with breakfree or the cleaning/ lubricant of your choice. That's it. Now, a semi auto is 100% harder to clean thoroughly, so I avoid corrosive ammo in them. Any ammo before 1980 can be corrosive, and any of it from the 70's or before is for sure corrosive.
