Does anybody make such a beast and where can I get some since I'll be shooting a bit of that now that I ordered 2 LN and have 2 others a good friend gave me....

I'm pretty sure S&B makes 54R ammo and that is non-corrosive. All the mil-surp is definetly corrosive. New Wolf production SHOULD be non-corrosive.

I agree with TheRifleman on the S&B but watch out I read some where that the primers are not as stiff as surplus ammo.

I have some of that new Wolf... been shooting it for about 3 weeks. Have seen NO signs of corrosion, and my 91/30 is getting 1.5" groups at 100 yards :)
