I have 120 rounds of CETME 7.62 FMJ that I got for a good deal. When I bought it I didn't realize it had corrosive primers. Is this stuff OK to shoot out of my rem 700 .308? The box reads CETME CSP-003 7.62mm 1962. I don't want to mess up my nice clean bore with corrosive ammo. If I clean it really good after each session is it OK?

Shooting it will not hurt anything, but you need to clean the bore with the old stinky military bore cleaner, or you can use wet patches with Dawn and hot water. Wipe it dry and oil the bore. You can check it a few days later with a clean patch.
