I'm guilty of not cleaning my guns all that oiften, so long as they function well, though I've cleaned guns used with corrosive ammo pretty quickly. I think many over think it though. Just a basic cleaning with Hoppes No9 or Shooters Choice (both are water based solvents from what I understand, and both work well with corrosive ammo) does what needs to be done and doesnt take long. If you want to be a slacker, run a wet patch with either of those solvents and wipe the affected areas until you can do a true general cleaning. Thats what I've done with guns used with corrosive ammo and had zero issues.
