Has Corrosive Ammo Ever Hurt Your Gun?

I've not used it.

But I have a buddy that had a bolt lock on one of his because he forgot to clean his rifle after shooting corrosive ammo.

But he said that all he did was break it apart with some mystery oil, then cleaned the hell out of it... Then it was working again.
 
I've shot more than my share of it, and have had to do some extra cleaning because of it.

I've got one rifle (M24 Finnish Mosin Nagant) that the bore looks like a sewer pipe because of it, but it was that way when I got it.
 
As long as you clean it right after shooting it is fine. ALL ammo till the 40's was corrosive to some extent.
Use soapy HOT water or windex with ammionia and you will be fine.
Oil it up afterwards.
