pogy 5 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have 1000 rounds of the above ammo that I purchased last year.. It came in two 500 round packs each wrapped in plastic. I opened one of the bulk packs when I got them just to check one box to see what the condition was. Just today, I noticed that some of the cases are starting to rust. Does anyone know if this is because I opened the sealed pack? Will the stuff in the sealed pack be rusting also? Is there anything I can do to protect the ammo from getting worse?

Norseman 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have had steel cases with some slight surface corrosion, nothing to worry about. However if it is deeper rust with pitting, its junk. To keep my steel case from rusting I pack it in ammo cans with rubber seals and throw in a bunch of the silica gel (desicant) packs. Keep in mind that the ammo may be fine with surface rust but it "could" score or scratch the chamber of your weapon. -E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
