It definitely seems rust-prone even without the help of water; I'm not sure where my ammo has been stored since the 90s (I bought it recently) but it's rusted even though it was waxed at the factory. I've heard how filthy it is before; I can't imagine shooting it in a gun with a tighter match/target chamber goes very well even normally lol.
>having to burn through entire crates of this ammo
IIRC normally you got 5 (?) bricks (500rds/brick) in a crate when it got imported to the US, so about 2500rds per crate, but it appears they also came in 6000rd crates (brass cased in this pic which I didn't know was a thing). Either way there's no doubt they'd probably end up as one of the filthiest guns at the end of that day lol. No matter what you're easily above 3000rds/gun shooting ammo known to be filthier than any 22LR ammo I've heard about. I can't imagine shooting that much ammo out of my Ruger Standard in a day; shooting dirtier ammo out of a gun with much tighter tolerances must've definitely been something to witness lol.
