I'm the wrong one to ask about reloading so we'll wait for the experts to chime in. I do shoot a lot of surplus ammo in my rifles. None of the rifles are museum pieces so I'm not to picky about the ammo. Anything for semi-auto use has to look good or I won't use it.
The worst I ever got was some mixed lot 8mm Mauser ammo from the middle east (Egypt?). I feed it all through my 8mm Mausers and the only problem was about 1 or 2 rounds per 100 would fail to fire after the primer was hit. No big deal for plinkers. Big problem if you're working with it.
And for those of you who worry about a round half way down the barrel, don't worry, you'll know by the kick that the sucker is gone down range.
I like cleaning guns so corrosive ammo is no problem.
