I don't change my ammo every month but once a year shooting 16 rounds doesn't exactly put me in the poor house

Just saying I have never had a problem. And if it was possible to have one, I would think hot soapy water in a washing machine would do it. Probably does not is because the bullet is a piston in a cylinder. Powder, and air are under pressure, but dive deep enough in the ocean I am sure that pressure would not be so great. Fortunately I do not plan on diving to the Titanic with ammo.
Forgot to mention that some loaders use hydraulic pressure to remover berden primers. Seems that a tight fitting ram compressing water will blow out a a berden primer. Air compresses more than water, but it still keeps water out, unless it loses pressure. IMO that pressure has to be relieved before contaminants can get in. Some chemicals can corrode brass enough to allow the pressure out, like ammonia. I would imagine salt could over time, but never has been a problem for me, and I used to live in the Florida Keys before moving to NC. Still have ammo from the time in the keys.
