[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 1546352, member: 108138"] I have a weird question, not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes. I have a savage ar10 in .308 set up with thermal for hog extermination. Currently, I’m using Barnes factory ammo - 168 grain ttsx. I keep several magpul magazines loaded for quick access. The magazines that I sore in my ammo cabinet or in my hunting bag are fine. But if I keep a magazine in or anywhere near the gun, the ammo tarnishes like crazy. Not only does it look bad, if I fire it, it won’t extract. I had to take a rod down the barrel and pound it out. The last magazine that tarnishes was stores by the gun in my gun safe that has a golden rod in it, so it shouldn’t be humidity causing it. My ammo cabinet is just a cabinet in my house, and it doesn’t happen there. What gives? I’m tired of wasting expensive ammo. [ATTACH=full]117164[/ATTACH] The one on top was in the chamber. The other two were in the magazine. Could it be the oil I used on the bcg causing this? [/QUOTE]
