I thought you were implying camel was "possibly corrosive". :lol: :lol:

Hmm, on consideration some of my colleagues think that of me. Ahh, WGAF?

I have been called abrasive before, but not corrosive, that is another one I can put in the resume. :mrgreen:

DSD,

I could be wrong & will need to check my reference material, but I think the "AP" stands for Armour Piercing. If you're interested, pull one of the projectiles and run a Dremel cut-off blade lengthwise through it. If it is AP you'll soon have sparks flying from the steel penetrating core under the jacket.

PS: Actually, scrap the Dremel idea. Just get a magnet and put it near the projectile. The steel core will soon indicate it's presence.
