Is that a 1943 marking?

Forgive me if you already know this, but virtually all WW2 .45acp ammo is mildly corrosive. IOW, I wouldn't shoot this stuff................

Bob,

It is my understanding that it is fine to shoot the stuff just as long as you clean the pistol right away. Of course I got some too. I have never fired any of it at all. I figured it would be my last ditch Zombie ammo.

Kinda figured it's corrosive, but I probably won't shoot it. It's not worth much more than what I paid for it, but it has the "cool" factor. Just need to find a GI mag

I just last week fired 1/2 a box of the same GI '43 ammo through my "beater" 645.
All went well, except for the smell, fairly accurate too.
25 years ago, I reloaded those steel cases the same as I did with brass and never noticed anything unusual.
Just clean the gun again the next day to get what you may have missed initially.
I have some 1934 .45s that are dead and a box of Winchester "full patch", "staynless", "oilproof"...in nice shape, headstamped WRA 45 AC, not ACP...price on box, $2.78 for 50
Somehow I accumulate old stuff.

I shoot corrosive .45 out of my original WW1 and WW2 1911's.

As long as you clean them well, nothing will happen to them.
