1954 Israeli ammo for K98

[Chaz]

Should any of you know, I am curious if this is corrosive or non-corrosive ammunition.
Thank you.

Pretty sure it is corrosive primed and I would treat it as corrosive and clean as if it was.

Israeli 7,92 and 7.62

I alway thought it was non corrosive but could be wrong. Alot of this 7,92 was reformed to 7.62x51 mm

Last photo on far right shows both an Israeli 7,62 and US 7,62

It is non-corrosive. They are loaded with commercial primers.

Interesting pictures. Thanks all.

The 7.62 might very well be non corrosive but I still think the 8mm is corrosive. Even FN was still using corrosive primers well into the late 50's in their 8x57.

The 7,62mm was formed from the 7,92mm, note the extractor groove, military 7,62mm has a much larger extractor groove as shown in my photo on the far right. The primers where not changed

I had always considered the Isreali 8mm to be non corrosive and treated it as such. Never a problem.
That is real good shooting ammo. I'd like to trip over a couple of thousand again!

Non-corrosive. Lots of dead primers by now. The corrosive primers last for years, but not the non-corrosive stuff.
