if you do not remove the case lube (i was using the rcbs lube at the time) and store the ammo for a long period of time, the cases will corrode much more. i did this with some 30-30 shells that i reloaded back in the late 80's, and looked at them this past fall. they were UGLY! the factory ammo in the box next to it was not pristene, but was in way better shape that the stuff i loaded. i no longer use the rcbs case lube (to be fair, i quit using it before i found this out), nor do i leave any lube on the brass now.
