.45ACP FMJ ... The seller is selling for less than I can buy .45 at Walmart. I've just never seen this packaging before.

It is considered antique ammo
vintage, early 1911 stuff.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was corrosive.

W.C.C- Western Cartridge Company, basically Winchester.One of there Military production runs.
I have that stuff for '06 and shoots great!!Pretty sure it is corrosive though.

^^^ 50 year old antique ammo from ODG adds much more value to their claim. [LOL]

I have several boxes of that stuff from several different years. Some is steel cased, too.

So from responses so far it sounds like it's probably safe to shoot and possibly corrosive. 350rds are up for purchase so I guess I buy it. Thanks all. BTW... it's brass cased.

Yep, Western Cartridge Company. 1961

Supposedly corrosive primers, YMMV.

I would doubt that it is corrosive, I have WCC from 65, and all US mil ammo is pretty much non corrosive from the early 50's on.........It will be a crimped primer pocket, but that's not a big deal

No way something with an early '60's headstamp is corrosive.
