I am pretty sure it is corrosive. Same as the Russian stuff. Very dirty. Haven't fired any in the Thompson yet, but just did fire a few rounds in a S&W .45 handgun. Seemed very low power! Dropped the cases right at my feet. No smoke though. I'll keep everyone posted on how it works. I really expected it to be the same as the Ruskie stuff, but I think it is a year or two later in production.
It was actually a bit cheaper than the Russian stuff, but by just a small amount. I am on the Dave Ramsey plan now, so I had only budgeted $100 this month for ammo, and that has to last a while (yeah, right).
Oh, and the Thompson has been paid off! Well, actually, I refinanced the house today and sucked it into the new plan. We only lost about 16 months in the deal, but are saving $157 a month. Anyway...
