My Hornady 9th Ed. load data book says Berdan primers ARE corrosive, Boxer primers are NOT, yet I see this and a few other foreign (mostly Russian) ammo brands say "Berdan NONcorrosive", how can that be? Berdan physical design with Boxer chemistry inside?

Leon, For surplus ammunition, there are two main types of primers: Berdan and Boxer. Boxer-primed ammunition is not corrosive, so you don't have to worry about it.***** Not all Berdan is corrosive*****, but almost all of the older surplus ammunition you find on the market with Berdan primers is corrosive.
