Guys,
I saw this on another Forum and thought it was good information on the stories about oil, lubes, etc. killing primers. Take a look at this link and decide for yourself. Link is: http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot39.htm
Oil Killing Primers
Oil Killing Primers
I've wondered about that before....I usually make sure that all parts of my gun are at least lightly oiled. Now I'm not worried about it!
Oil Killing Primers
I had always read that WD-40 left in the chamber of a revolver would kill the primers quickly, but I always wondered how in the world it could "creep" that far. I don't think a firearm shuld be dipped in WD-40 and then loaded, but at least this experiment shows the condition is not what I had been told in the past.

I have always been real careful around loaded ammo with WD 40 or any other oil
almost to the point where I'd take the bullet apart if I suspected any oil got on them.

Norm, Yea, I have always done the same as you, and will continue to also! I understand the testing done, but I won't take a chance.....maybe I am too set in my ways.....or is it just old age, LMAO!

Good reading, I was taught not to oil ammo. Oil can cause a ftf. Now I look at it in kind of a different light. I still oil my firing pin.

I (and my girlfriend) carry sealed ammo - always. whether it comes sealed from the factory or I have to seal the primers and case mouths with primer sealer that I bought from MidwayUSA, my carry ammo is sealed. Solves the oil problem.
