So the question remains , was this stuff corrosive or not ? Any further updates ?

Can't speak to the 2020 production, but a friend says his factory 311 2019 production is non-corrosive.

I know that doesn't help you, but just pointing it out.

Correction: just texted to say it might say 317 19. His eyes are bad, lol.

I’d say “less” corrosive than surplus. If you clean your gun after each range session with normal methods you’ll be fine. If left for awhile it will start to corrode ever so slowly. I pounded about 2000 rounds of this stuff without cleaning my SKs and after about 6 months of sitting there was some “slight” corrosion.

Did the same with other brands like Barnaul, Tula, LCW(Dominion) and there was no rust… even after a year of sitting nasty.

So… it’s O.K. stiff if yoi keep on top of it.

I thought all copper washer was corrosive

I use it all the time and have no problems with corrosion.

If I can't make it to clean my gun right after a range trip I always fire 2 rounds of soft point through my gun.
I think that this will help clear out some of the salts left behind by potentially corrosive ammo. Works good for me so far.
I use this stuff in my cz with the soft points as the last 2 rounds .

Interesting idea. Can you share which soft point you use?

Why specifically Soft Point? I've read on a few occasions that ANY non-corrosive rounds shot after corrosive would "clean" the bore. The recommended number of non-corrosive shots would vary from 5 to 10. Personally, I take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I saw a vid on youtube of a guy saying the same, but he only fired 25 Norinco corrosive surplus followed by 5 Barnaul non-corrosive and let it sit for 6 months.
