    WRA WW2 1945 ball ammo

    Hello, This is my first post other than a short intro so hello to all. I have 4 boxes of what I believe to be WW2 ammo that I am curious about. First,does anyone know if it is corrosive primed? Second , does this have any value? It is WRA marked with a 45 headstamp. I believe that is 1945. Brown boxes in perfect shape. I have no problem shooting it up as I clean my weapons after firing, that said,I would hate to shoot up something of collector value. Any and all help welcome. Ski

    Corrosive. While some like to have a box dated the same as their pistol or for photo setups or etc WWII ammunition doesn't bring a large premium.

    It's OK to shoot corrosive ammo if you clean your gun soon after shooting. I have shot thousands of steel cased corrosive primed pistol ball ammo with out any problems. You may want to clean your barrel and bushing with hot soapy water and then oil.
