You folks probably already know this, but copper jacketed bullets corrode to copper sulfate which doesn't seriously harm barrels, but the old German steel jacketed bullets, "stahl-mantel geschoss" rust to iron oxide and will destroy a barrel with as little as one shot. Just one more reason not to shoot that old ammo!
