I like Meguiar's wash & wax and lemishine and a [quick] cold water rinse. Usually after a universal decap so I can run clean brass through the sizer die. I air dry on a fluffy towel.

My observations of 30 cal barrels for ARs is that many/most do not come throated in a manner conducive for most cast profiles. I've seen more than several 300 BO, 7.62x39 and a 300 Ham'r that have...

2230C is NOT 2230. Accurate's instruction for it is to use 2460 data as is. Even though there is a little .223 Rem and .308 Win data on the 8# jug label, they do not publish load data for 2230C.

Forum: Reloading Equipment
Does anyone recall a warning about not using Federal primers in the RCBS Universal Priming Tool? I think it had to do with primer sensitivity and/or possible chain firing in the tube.

A friend has a sportered, synthetic stock, 03A3 meant as an all weather hunter. The barrel was very badly stained but not rusted, bore in very good condition. He asked me what I would do to clean...
Nice shooting 405grain!
Try doing that with cast in an 'as issued' 03A3! I've been regularly engaged in military bolt matches (bench rest) since sometime in the mid to late '90s, 5 record targets...
