Wasn't all ammunition in world war 2 corrosive?

I don't think any militaries of the era used non corrosive primers. They were still fairly new and how they held up after long term storage was still a concern.

The word on the street was M1 Carbine ammo was always non-corrosive untill recently when China cranked out a bunch of it.
As far as I know everything else in WWII was corrosive |

WARNING!!!!!!!
The fake Chinese stuff is dangerous. Head case separations are frequent. I nearly destroyed a carbine not knowing about this stuff. Go on line and see the diff. If it comes in a box marked 7.62mm it is dangerous! It is also headstamped LC 42 like the original but with obvious differences. It is also highly corrosive. |

I believe that the fake/Chinese .30 Carbine ammo is headstamped “LC 52”.

Since this turn to talk of .30 Carbine ammo, be advised that the French also made some corrosive .30 Carbine ammo.

As a note, surplus Swiss GP11 is also non-corrosive.
