Back when this ammo was readily available, there was a thread on the forum about problems with some lots. My search skills are sadly lacking and I'm not able to find the thread. CMP has a thread about it but, if I recall correctly, the thread here had more info. Can someone provide a link to the thread on this forum? Thanks!

Don't have link handy...but it's only applicable to PS 75 headstamp and only certain lot#s


Anything else is fine

PS-145 to about PS-165  if I remember right. All 75 headstamp date.

There are a ton of 1975 lots so unless it's in the original sealed box with LOT # don't buy it.

Thought it was said this stuff was also corrosive? … No?

I think the corrosive stuff had a KA headstamp.

Yes.  KA is corrosive.  PS is non-corrosive.

I have about 600 rounds of KA that came with a trade.
Not sure what to do with it.

Thinking about shooting it up in the lower grade Garand. I'll just have to clean the mess out of it.

Good excuse to buy a 1903/1903a3 or 1917.  Less clean up.
