[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 933381, member: 51650"] MikeCR All the points you made are valid. But some of my ammo goes into long term storage and some is tossed onto the ground by the self-loaders. Both of these require cleaning. Ground bound brass has abrasive crud on it and it has to be cleaned off. Long term storage is about zero contamination and protecting the ammo from atmospherics and heat. Put away squeeky clean I have ammo that has shot fine 35 years later. But for bench fire where the ammo goes from box to gun, is fired, and then carefully returned to the box? Probably not. But I brush the necks out and clean the primer pockets every time. KB [/QUOTE]
