What's the expected outcome if I were to start shooting the corrosive primer api black tip stuff?

Is there anything in particular I should look out for?  Or keep an eye on?

What's the suggested methods for using this, or should it just plainly be avoided?

Ballistol is your friend.
No, you can't say whatever you want.

I thought API was silver tip, and black tip was plain AP?
I'll get my man... to clean your kit.

Clean like you would with other corrosive primed ammo. Hot soapy water to clean out the salts. Clean dry. Then clean like normal.
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Where is this corrosive stuff from?

How do I recognize it?

Sg ammo has some right now, I'm not sure if it's based soley on the head stamps, but they do disclaim it up front.

IIRC, Hoppes #9 solvent now contains ammonia so you should be just fine with that.  That's all I use, even on my combloc rifles, and have never had a bore rust on me.
