What is the recommended action to take with corroded ammunition?

The recommended action to take with corroded ammunition is to replace it. When ammunition shows signs of corrosion, it can compromise the integrity and reliability of the cartridges, potentially leading to dangerous situations when attempting to fire them. Corrosion can affect the primer, powder, and projectile, increasing the risk of misfires or failures to fire altogether.

Ensuring safety in handling and using ammunition is paramount; therefore, replacing corroded ammunition eliminates any risk associated with using potentially compromised rounds. This action reflects best practices in ammunition management, promoting responsible use and adherence to safety protocols in firearms handling.
