This is some supposedly Egyptian ammo that is non-corrosive and boxer primed. Not sure if its Egyptian because I can't find the markings anywhere that would indicated that.

Here are some pics

Is that ARE or ARF? With markings I'd guess South African. I 've seen it once. Maybe some South American nation usually any of the Arabic nation doesn't like to use Infidel writting.

I forgot to update this thread! I shot one round of this, yep, it was berden primed. I took it back and got some 1911 Magazines instead =) It was Egyptian, brass and berden primed.

What is wrong with Berdan priming on blasting ammo?

Treat it as corrosive until proven otherwise.

It was brass and I bought it for the express purpose of reloading smile.gif Finding 7.62x39 brass is a challenge (for a good price anyways). It wasn't reloadable, so I took it back. I use cheap ammo for blasting (this was more expensive then wolf).
