I am getting back into reloading after many, many years away from it. Actually when I was doing it before I was helping my dad more than doing the whole job myself. He is gone now and I have all of his old equipment and some more modern equipment and most of what I am reloading is still the same as back then. 30-06. I have been going through the hundreds and hundreds of cases he left and most are in pretty good shape other than having 50 years of dirt and dust on them. He also had many boxes of loaded surplus ammo. This question pertains to both the empty cartridges and also the loaded ones. What constitutes a "bad" cartridge? I have quite a few with discoloration on them but it is smooth and no sign of actual corrosion. I also have a few with actual corrosion that you can feel as a rough spot on the cartridge. These I know are bad but what about the stained ones?
