Dirty Ammo

[Yawn]

Is it just me, or does most of the FMJ stuff (and I mean most of them, AE - WWB - Blazer - Rem) is just getting dirtier and dirtier? It is getting to the point after a mag or two, the orange on my chamber indicator has turned black. Cleaning my gun following a trip to the range is like trying to clean all the oil out of a 25 year old motor.

Is it just me?

What and how much lube are you using when you clean the gun? I can shoot two or three boxes of WWB in either 9mm or .40 and cleaning isn't really a big deal. After cleaning your gun it should be almost dry...just the slightest "wipe on/wipe off" trace of lube. The local range uses WWB and Rem for their rental guns and they pretty much never clean the guns...

It's just you.
My personal, unscientific, unresearched, and unsolicited thought is that most people clean their guns too often.
Well," too often" may be a bit harsh. More like, more often than is needed to keep a gun working flawlessly.

John,

I dont clean my firearm any differently then I did before... Actually, I actually use less lube now a days. It was never an issue. It just seems lately it is. Maybe it is a problem with .45 only rugerguy... Any .45ers seeing the same thing?
