Corrosive ammo advice needed

[twinwoodsman]

I do my best to track down and shoot non-corrosive ammo for my SKS but shooting it is just to much fun and she is hungry and this can get expensive quickly. so i have purchased some corrosive ammo, what do i need to know about this stuff before i cycle it through my gun?
will a standard cleaning do the trick?
do i need a special solvent?

Water based solvents, and even boiling water is great for removing the corrosive salts, from barrel and action. Once you use boiling water or water based solvents, you need to coat all steel surfaces with a product to prevent rust. As well, if you shoot at a range, be sure that the ammunition does not have steel core bullets, if the range has a steel core ban in effect, as many ranges do.

Hot water works great! Look it up on utube as there are many great videos on how to easily clean your sks with water after shooting corrosive ammo.

This link is a good one. https://youtu.be/1b3VyKeGH8Y

Don’t forget to clean the gas system too.

In the field, the pink windshield washer juice works good as a solvent.

A gunsmith told me last week that even supposed non corrosive stuff was corrosive and should be cleaned after using.same as others have said,hot water or Windex neutralizes it.
