I believe you, why would you lie, but the only chalked lead I have
seen came with a century old leather shot pouch. You should store the
stuff in, of all things, an ammo can. GI fifty cal cans are used to
store the other smaller types as well. The lid clamps down on a rubber
gasket. Get some silica gel packets to put in with the ammo. Are you
sure if it really matters if you shoot the corroded stuff? Badly
corroded cases could be weakened but bullets? For what its worth
either fine steel wool, or a Scotchbrite pad should easily remove that
lead carbonate.

I noticed it most with promo .22 rf like "Thunderbolts" and I shot
them up anyway. In a Norrell 10-22 it really doesn't make that much
difference if you lose a few minutes of angle down range, there will
be another round coming along about 60ms later.

I only shoot copper-coated bullets in my semi-auto handguns. I like
CCI's mini-mags in the .22 and Blazer Brass in the others. I only shoot
targets, and not formally, so this ammo is good enough for me. No
misfeeds, ftfs or other problems, either. I used Winchester white box
for a while, but thought it was "dirty."
