Corossion Question

[ozark]

While looking at all my ML junk I noticed that several primers and some bullets had a grey colored corrosion on them. The coloration on the bullets were in the nose cavity only. XTP 250 and 300. The primers were corroded around the area where the firing pin would hit. Should I toss them, try them or???. Any idea of the cause? The only moisture they have been exposed to was in the air. Only a few items are effected. Curious as to cause. The color is the same as what you might see on a flashlight battery leak. Ben.

Ozark,I have experienced that as well.Bullets will be fine.Toss the primers.In my case, it was exposure to moisture laden air and time.By the way,I eliminated this by storing in ammo boxes with the rubber o-ring in the lid.
