So a day or two ago I received a text from a family memeber that said the following.
"Talking with John Doe. He mentioned if you tumbled brass with dry media you must rinse the brass because of the microscopic residue from the dry media that collects at bottom of the case and in the primer pocket. He uses a liquid to bypass this problem now. He asked me to mention this to you. It increases the temp. & flash. Larry's (John Doe's son) gun blew up when he neglected to do this in the past."
I have never heard of this before. I thought the worst that could happen is a really dirty primer pocket could lead to a primer not seating properly. I've never heard of media dust grenading a gun before, or that it can cause a increase in "temperature & flash".
My relation knows nothing about reloading at all, and I have never heard of this. That doesn't make it untrue though, so I thought I better ask since I'm new to it also.
The individual who said this is rather prideful about his firearms knowledge. If he double charged a round, I don't know that he would own up to it. Id sooner expect an excuse to be generated.
Any truth to this?
