I prefer not to shoot corrosive ammo but if you do, Swampy is right on the mark. Clean it that day and preferrably as soon as you get home.
A little tip for range shooting: make a solution of 1 part ammonia to 3 parts water to keep in your range box or bag.
After your barrel cools down to where any liquid won't evaporate off quickly, take a patch and dampen it (not sopping wet) and run it through the barrel. Let it set about thirty seconds and run a dry patch down the barrel.
Also take some extra time and wipe off the bolt and bolt face.
This quickly neutralizes the corrosive salts so you have some time to get the gun home for a proper cleaning with any commercial solvent and one with ammonia is best. If you don't have a commercial solvent with ammonia just use the ammonia mixture until no green or greenish gray junk comes out of the barrel.
BTW: using an ammonia solution at the range should not be a trade off for not cleaning the gun right away it is a preventative measure in the event something comes up when you get home and can't get to the gun until the next day.
Some say to make sure the ammonia mixture does not get on the gun stock.
I keep my solution in a small Dristan Nasal Spray bottle so I can easily squeeze the amount I want on the patch.
And I've heard some say that Windex with ammonia works also although I have never tried that.
I might add to make sure you break down the bolt, (if possible and particularly in blow-back semi auto actions), and clean that too.
As Swampy commented, if you do that I don't think you should have any problems.
I prefer, though, to reload mine..it's fun...it's challenging....it produces a more consistant cartridge and it keeps me in the work shop and outta of trouble with the Mrs.
RCBS has an 8MM Mauser Competition die...the one I use. But it might have to be ordered by your favorite local dealer since it's not a common die that most stock.
