I was giving my friend several boxes of some .223 Ammo. The Ammo is more than several years old. The rounds have lost all their shine and are tarnished.
He says he will have to clean them with steel wool before using. He says they will dangerously load up his rifle.
Is this true? If so, how many rounds before there is danger?
I am of the opinion, that as long as he cleans his rifle after use (as he should be doing any way) there should be no problem.
There is no pitting of any kind, just tarnish.
Thank you for your help-- Steve
