Has anyone used this ammo from Samco?

(Iranian Mfg., 1950's, Brass cases, FMJ, 198 gr.,
Lead core, Non-corrosive, Berdan, Packed
Loose, 5 rows of 200 rds each, 1000 rds in
sealed zinc ined wooden case. Wt of case 70 lbs
29.9 Cents per Round)

What's your opinion of it? The non-corrosive aspect has me intrigued.

I would treat the ammo as corrosive, no matter what "they" say.

I have shot Egyptian and Turk 8mm and cleaned my bore immediately with Windex at the range while the barrel was still hot.

Wow, what a great looking crate..but dang 30cent a round ...little steep for me untill I hear more reports on how it does..The egyption stuff was pretty hit or miss

I wonder how they got ahold of that stuff?? talk about rifles with a tale to tell..next theyll have it coming with a box of Cuban cigars

The ad says the 8mm is corrosive. It is the 30-06 that they are touting as non-corrosive.
