dangit chas! beat me to it 
I think what your said with a plastic bag with silica would work, they really shouldnt be turning green unless your storing them outside or in a very humid garage.

Bullets? Or cartridges? Or both?
Anyway, corrision starts with humidity, store your copper/brass stuff in dry places and all will be well.

Sounds like a definent humidity problem. But to clean the bullets throw them in your vibrator or tumbler.

You can knead a little turtle wax into a shop rag and let it dry for a few days.
Forever you can wipe loaded round bullets with it. It doesn't affect loads using either dry film coated(like moly) or uncoated bullets, because only the exposed bullet nose is being waxed. The bullet bearing remains as load developed.
For brass, I know of no tricks really. You don't want to leave behind any residue in chambers. I've been hoping someone would come up with a way to more or less anodize our brass to prevent tarnish.

To clean really tarnished brass alone I soak them in vinegar for the night then I rinse them off rel good then place them on a pan,put them on the lowest oven setting with the door opened a couple inches to evaporate the water then I put them in my vibrator or you can tumble them. This does work good.
