I would guess that Olympic ammunition from Greece headstamped (02) would not be corrosive, but I don't want to guess. Accuracy varries and I will be loading my own 8 x 57 within a few months. I've been running a couple of wet (Shooter's Choice) patches through the bore and just a quick wipe of the bolt face befor leaving the range (proper cleaning at home). Shooter's Choice has amonia in it's recipie. I've got 100 rounds of this stuff to get me through until I'm set up for loading. I'd love to have a definitive answer about this . Can anyone provide that ? I’ve been trying all morning to determine whether”sionoxide” primers are corrosive or not.

I've tried a number of things for corrosive-primed ammo, and this is the one I'm sticking with. I hit the bore with a couple of damp patches when I'm done shooting, then a dry, then do a regular cleaning at home. And a patch damp with it works well to swab out the gas tube, etc. Please note it's not as good a copper solvent as something like Sweet's 7.62.

Someone else recommended Windex, which I agree with. I recommended ammonia in hot water, which does the same thing. I have never used soapy water. In the interest of not taking credit for what I did not do. I have no problem with using Windex. I have had phenomenal result with hot ammonia water and I find it easier to use, but you sure can't go wrong with Windex, either. I must clear this up.

Beats the hell out of screwing around with hot, soapy water. Been there, etc. Amen, brother. Windex is the way to go. I got that tip from Old Painless at http://www.theboxotruth.com.
