NC 8mm at Sportsman's Guide??

Anybody tried the Romanian 8mm Mauser that Sportsman's Guide is advertising at non-corrosive?

Error / Lie at SG

Yes I have tried it and tested it....it is Good ammo, but it is CORROSIVE for sure.
They will correct their add, after they sell out!.
Buyer beware....SG is getting as bad as SOG at putting the "NonCorrosive" label on all milsurp they sell. I can see a mistake now and then, but when it is deception as a sales policy IT IS FRAUD!!

How about the '50s vintage Ecuadorian 8MM they sold a while back? Probably corrosive?
