Re: Rust on brass
Thus my firm belief (and many others) it comes from moisture sealed/trapped inside those PVC battlepaks. The cardboard carton against the brass absorbs it and causes the corrosion. Could also have been handled by someone with sweaty hands during manufacture and/or packing. Is it hot and humid in Malaysia?

Re: Rust on brass
Yeah, I get that, I pretty much do the same.
This stuff was sitting in a box in paper bags right next to a lot of other ammo.
All the other stuff looks fine, but this stuff corroded, probably has been sitting there for 10 years.
I removed them, repacked with desiccant, and reboxed in a better location.
But this is the only stuff that's been corroding in the area.
I've got ammo that's been sitting for over 30 years that looks fine.
I have a sizable amount of this ammo.
I'd like to find a way to pack it up so it will still be usable in the future.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Re: Rust on brass
I'm pretty sure my stuff looked ok when I removed it from the plastic packs.
So at least in my case, the corrosion happened outside of the original packaging, both the plastic and the boxes it contained.
I am thinking maybe this stuff is not manufactured with the best materials.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Test the case body with a magnet?
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.
