[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 814220, member: 20047"] The point about ammo sitting for long periods is valid. I myself started a similar sealant thread a couple years ago. By the end of the discussion a prolific poster to this board had gone back and noticed that the primers needed slightly reseated to original depths.... I think another Platinum poster mentioned in another different thread that the firing pin to primer consistency had an impact as well on accuracy....greater than before surmised. So if the primers can incrementally move enough that the accuracy could be impacted, then the sealant might have a value add. However IMO, for these very small variances, the load would likely have to have .25moa accuracy at the onset to notice a deterioration due to this potential advent. So for 99% of the time, the sealant is likely burdensome overkill step. [/QUOTE]
