True but that stuff was delivered in a sealed tube and has been kept that way. Some small arms stuff has been kept in sealed cans and other lots in wooden crates. If the box or wrapping paper does not show water damage it should be safe (imo).
One of my old neighbors was a re-loader. He'd buy surplus, pull the ball, dump the propellant and put in fresh powder. A quick pass in his tumbler would polish the brass before reloading and it wasn't enough to bother the primers. Even if it was corrosive primed, it was cheaper than new brass and he didn't have to bother re-sizing the cartridges.
