corroded ammo

[ArgentineSteel]

I have a half box of Winchester super X 22 LR I inherited and looked into today and found it's corroding. Must have gotten damp some time in the past.

Cheap enough since I didn't pay for it, but wondered about any fixes for it. Or should I just dispose of it.

Thanks

Put it up for auction on GunBroker, just to see if anyone will bid on it. My guess is someone will.

Heh, I guess that's one way to safely get rid of it. If they pay for the hazardous shipping fee.

Cartridges are not hazmat.

I'd throw it in the tumbler for a little bit if it was really cruddy, otherwise as long as it will chamber I'd just shoot it.

Just be sure that when finished tumbling the "powder doesn't show through"

FWIW, .22LR ammo never looks very good, even when brand new. Looks worse after you dig it out of your jacket pocket after it's been there a couple of years Same for tackle box, trunk (under the spare tire), or glove box.
