Default Non-corrosive claims... ?

Just looking for opinions. Generally, I am always leery of the quality of any ammunition that is not made in the U.S., or one of the more industrialized western countries.

Recently, I have started looking for 7.62x39 ammo, since I now have an AR upper for that caliber. I do not intend to reload, so a boxer-primed, brass case, while nice, is not a requirement. But non-corrosive is another matter.

I see several types of imported ammo that claim to be non-corrosive. In particular, I am thinking of a product marketed under the trade name Golden Tiger, from Russia. This functions and shoots pretty good, and is reasonably priced.

In general, do you all give any weight to the non-corrosive claim in ammunition produced in the Com-block countries? I would hate to start cleaning my AR15 in this caliber with hot, soapy water.
