Is anybody familiar with this stuff? Is it corrosive? Found it online way too cheap. Zinc-plated steel case, berdan primed, but it says nothing about corrosive/non-corrosive. Anybody know? Anyone tried it in their AR?

I can't say for sure, but I believe this is made by the same manufacturer that makes Brown Bear and Silver Bear ammo (I believe it's Barnul it something along those lines).

If it's the same as Silver Bear, then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I bought the Silver Bear stuff 500 rounds a pop because it was the only hollow point stuff I could afford (couldn't shoot FMJ at the ranges I went to in Texas). It ran through my M&P AR without a single hitch and wad not corrosive.
