you are really really really REALLY RISKING a GUN DONT GO BANG EXPERIENCE!
do you drive your p-car after a bottle of tequila? DO NOT USE WD-40 on cases to be loaded/clips/new bullets anywhere it can migrate to primer. if you are the least bit doubtful, please ask any reloading company or the military why they dont use WD-40! and the simple fact.............IT ATTRACTS DUST/DIRT/LINT/GRIME!
this has happened to friends of mine. reloads-military ball ammo-military boat-tail hollowpoints-federal/winchester civilian ammo etc. new box rounds! have witnessed this first hand. gun does not go bang................and then the question of the day, why did other rounds not go bang. then gun gets stripped and everything checks out ok. then the wd-40 question. "yep i lubed the hell outta it with wd-40." and then we know the answer, why gun did not go bang!
if you carry a semi-auto daily like myself, rotate clips every 2 days. ie. one clip loaded in gun, other clip or clips unloaded at home. METAL HAS A MEMORY when 7-8 rds of 45 squished into it for months or any other caliber. if still a disbeliever call tramtek here in phx. all they do all day is mfg. springs for the miltary and aerospace. and they can give you spring-ology 101.
if still a disbeliever. do this test. spray some bullets with wd-40 right on the primer. wait a week. and then tell me what happens. the next time you grab for your gun may not be just to shoot paper or beer cans. it may be needed to save your life or your loved ones! and by god it BETTER GO BANG THE FIRST-THRU LAST ROUND!
