Hello
I recently purchased a batch of surplus ammo: my first. It is 1994-vintage German 7.62x51mm surplus and up to a third of it may be corroded.
The first picture below shows what appears to be mild corrosion: a shiny, flat, green spotch on the surface of the casing. The second picture is typical of the more severe corrosion seen. A larger discolored area that is raised and feels rough to the touch.
I am pretty sure the second example of the two would be considered unsafe to shoot, but what about the first one?
