    Clean wet tumbled steel shot will form a rust bloom almost instantly
    if exposed to air but: 

    Steel  is easily protected if  kept wet in an ALKALINE environment.
    Just keep it under water with some washing soda ( sodium carbonate)
    in the water.   John maybe using some old fashioned  real soap 
    which will be slightly alkaline.
