    Dannish ammo corrosive?

    I have some Dannish ammo marked AMA 62 and AMA 89. They are both berdan primed the 62 has silver colored bullets with a flat type powder, (I wouldn't call it a flake) and in 5 rd. stripper clips. The 89 is is packed in Garand clips with a extruded type powder.
    My question is did the Dane's make corrosive ammo and would the AMA 62 or AMA 89 be?
    T.I.A.

    Evidently you have pulled a bullet and dumped the powder. Clamp the case in a vise open end down, place a piece of plain clean steel under case and hit primer to set it off. Protect eyes, of course. I cover the whole thing with heavy rag. Leave steel in basement or other damp spot for a few days.
    You can never go home again.

        Non corrosive ammo and it's excellent shooting.

          Thanks Tuna
          That is what I thought I had heard awhile back but wasn't sure. The AMA62 in the 5rd stripper clips kind of thru me though, because I hadn't heard much about it.
          thanks again

            The Danes had some 1917 Enfields at one time.
