Just figured i would start the discussion as it was on my mind. I was digging though my old .303 british ammo. Mostly Imperial brand from the early 80's. I have some pretty corroded rounds from handling them. None have gotten wet and the powder still shakes around inside. This is my test. If the corrosion will wipe off and doesn't interfere with putting it in the chamber and the powder still shakes around inside the case i usually call this good to go.

Where do you draw the line?


Here is a picture of what is going down the pipe tomorrow when i test out that SMLE. There is a fresh mound of cow shit that needs to be taught a lesson.
