Not really something new if you shoot reload and are a gunsmith you already know this we have been cleaning copper from barrels for a long time and the only thing that neutralizes ammonia based sovents is h20 and brass is basically hard copper

I’m not sure if it ever would have happened but this is definitely good to keep in mind. Thanks for the storage advice here.

I had a leaking bag of Granular Calcium Hypochlorite pool shock in my garage. The vapors migrated to some ammo stored in a steel cabinet and ruined the ammo along with a few boxes of bullets. It also ruined many hand tools, so to the point that they had to be tossed out.

Folks,
I don’t remember the specifics but some of the materials typically used in home laundries can be fairly reactive as well.

Many of my tools rusted and much brass and bullets were turning green for no apparent reason as they sat stored in cabinets and tool boxes in my garage. it took me a year to finally isolate the bag of pool shock sitting on a shelf in the garage. The bag was sealed in its original packing and then vacuum sealed. The vapors still penetrated the bags. What a mes.
