I have a couple boxes of ammo that came from an estate. Some of it looks like it was stored in a damp basement and is somewhat corroded.
I know how to handle the boxer primed stuff but I'm not sure what to do with the 40ish rounds of Berdan primed 7.65x54 ammo. I pulled down one of the worst looking ones and even the base of the bullet was green. Most of them look ok but don't have a rifle in this caliber or the desire to get one. I'd like to pull them down, tumble the bullets for maybe use in my Arisaka and recycle the brass but I don't think I should put brass with live primers in my recycling.
Should I just put them in the trash or try to recycle them?
