I hope I'm putting this in the right section.
I have 2000 rounds of American Eagle .223, 55gr. cartridges that were stored in original boxs in a metal cabinet inside the house for 3 years. I went to transfer cartridges to ammo can and discard the boxes. All of these cartridges have little to a good amount of dark brown discoloring on them. Local gun shop said not to worry, they are still good to shoot. I would like another opinion please.
Now the stupid question. I don't need shiny brass. But would it be safe to buy a tumbler, not the vibrator kind, and tumble loaded cartridges for a minute or two just to satisfy my OCD?
All help is always appreciated. These cartridges will be shot in a AR15 if that matters.
Thanks.
