Shells also get worn rattling around in a cylinder with dust and grit.
I carry a revolver so I have lots of experience with this.

I enjoy the way your sentiments portray the revolver in a favorable light​, however you and Bill Hickok up there fail to tell the full truth.
If YOUR rounds are "rattling around" in your cylinder, maybe you should put the correct caliber ammo in your revolver. As for the humidity issue, I've had just basic hand rolled range loads go thru the washer/dryer and look/work just fine. If it's a big concern, a bit of sealant around the primer/bullet should improve what is basically a waterproof load to start with. An old roommate of mine was an NYPD sgt, his duty revolver had green mold on the trigger and some of the brass. First shot hit center mass while 3 rookies emptied their glocks and missed every shot. 1 rookies shot took out a second story window while shooting from the street.
