Hello everyone,
I don't do any handloading/reloading, but I figured this was probably the best sub-forum to ask my question.
Should I grease unjacketed lead ammo for long term storage? I watch alot of antique/classic gun shows and it seems like unjacketed lead ammo can get pretty crusty after a few decades. I saw a video where some guy tried out some .22lr from the 1920's or 30s a few weeks ago. The box had been packed full of some kind of packing grease and the bullets were in perfect condition with no signs of corrosion.
