Why some of my Corbon bullets and Locally Made one rusted.

Stdalire, If you in Zamboanga area I remember lots of humidity and heat. Do you mean the Cor-Bons are turning green? instead of red ( rust ). If the local rounds are actualy leaking from inside, I recommend that you not shoot em. Could have some very interesting things going on inside that are not good for you or your weapons. Store the ammo in as dry and cool place as possible. Small plastic bags holding twenty or so rounds, vacuum packed helps and the bags can be ripped open quickly for use.
Do NOT clean the rounds with anything containing ammonia, makes em pretty but weakens the cases.
Do NOT use any lubricant on them, makes them go BOOM instead of bang.
Hope more and better follow.

You've been given good advice on storage. An airtight ammo can in the coolest place you've got would be great.
But the red color you mention is cause for concern. There is nothing in Corbon ammunition to rust. When powder begins to deteriorate there will be a redish color to it. I don't believe Corbon uses a case mouth sealing compound so it is- at least-theoreticlly possible- for humid air to get inside. My advice would be to not shoot any rounds so discolored.

stdalire;....important, are the Cor-Bons turning green or red, roja o verde?
The copper jacket will get green with exposure to the local atmosphere, if reddish colour something is VERY wrong and dangerous.
I thought you were further south, I lived in Cavite City, next to Sangly Point in the early 60s.
