It's very good stuff, don't squander it needlessly.

I guess including the language “any info is appreciated” could be risky business ‘round here

Wonder if it's corrosive?

It was mfd in 1980, so extremely doubtful that it would be corrosive.

Thanks ! I had googled many versions of the FNB 80 .30 etc etc but never added the “corrosive”. Seems the CMP forums are a good start as a matter of course.

Whether ammo is corrosive or not has nothing to do with surface corrosion on old ammo. It is the composition of the primer that determines whether it's corrosive or not.
