Does anyone know if these are truly non-corrosive? I know it says it is but I'm seeing a lot of mixed answers online. Some people say that most berdan primers are corrosive in reality, and that a lot of 5.45 ammo says non-corrosive even though it actually is corrosive.

Always clean as though it's corrosive when shooting any combloc surplus ammo.

I'll split that case w/you if you want.

I've shot thousands of rounds of wolf performance and plan on shooting more. Never had a issue with modern wolf or tula ammo. But I to clean my guns thoroughly after every range trip.
Now if your asking about 7n6 that's a whole other animal it does have corrosive primers and you wouldn't want to shoot it and not clean your gun.
This is wolf performance ammo and does not have a thick lacquer case like a lot of earlier ammo.

That's my understanding, but I was unsure if this was military surplus ammo or later production. I think I'll pass for now, I think I'd rather buy more 7n6 if they're both corrosive anyways

I saw a video on youtube of a guy shooting wolf 60gr fmj, it said all of the same things on the box EXCEPT the box also said "mil-spec. Lacquer and sealant" and the individual boxes were green and more square, unlike the one in your picture. he mentioned that it is actually corrosive, but I don't know if he's correct and I also don't know if this is the same stuff because I don't see mil spec lacquer and sealant on this one posted for sale.
EDIT: disregard, I didn't realize this comment was from OP. I'll pick up a case, sending PM now
