Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was corrosive but it gave me a reason to completely clean my rifle. I gave the bore a thorough cleaning and the feed ramps. Not a fancy one one but the DPMS Oracle let em rip!

Whatever you do, don’t waste it on plinking. If it’s got the silver jacket, it’s a particularly devastating fragmenting bullet: an extremely thin Nickel alloy jacket over a soft lead core.
The Cold War “rooskie killer” - the Euro Dunces withdrew it from service because the extremely graphic wounds it caused were “too lethal” and “inhumane.” Kind of like M193 on steroids. |

I was wondering if that was the case with the chrome looking bullet. I'll be sure to save them and use my standard ammo for plinking. Thank you for the heads up!

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was wondering if that was the case with the chrome looking bullet. I'll be sure to save them and use my standard ammo for plinking. Thank you for the heads up! There are two “brands” of German surplus ammo with that type of bullet, “DAG” and “MEN.” Also, if it’s still in the vinyl battle packs, you should open them up and make sure the cases have not gotten corroded. Actually, you should probably remove the rounds from the boxes as well because chemicals in the cardboard seem to have caused corrosion on the shells, which can eat right through the cases over time. |

All the above is great advice.
Out of my 308's it is quite accurate for ball ammo. Far more precise then "XM80" |

DAG is high quality NATO Milsurp. In the same quality level as SA and Radway.
