The recent talk of corrosive ammo and such has me a little nervous, and a whole bunch wanting to improve my knowledge.  I also want to start reloading, so I come to y'all with a dumb question I am hoping you will be patient to answer.

Look at this ammo here:

Question 1:  is this non-corrosive ammo that will not hurt my AK or SKS?  If it is corrosive, will the Windex with ammonia offset the cheap price?

2:  Is it fairly reliable and accurate?  Not for competition or anything, but even plinking I'd like to hit where the sights say it is going to go.

3:  Can I reload it for better accuracy once I learn how?  It looks like real brass to me, but I trust y'all know way more than I do about this stuff, so I'll take your word for it.

Thank you all in advance!

Yugo ammo is corrosive

Templar on the darkside says Yugo ammo is good stuff, though-reliable and accurate.

Most people around here will say why bother reloading when cheap ammo is available.

Almost certainly Berdan primed and not worth reloading
