I keep my guns very clean and lubed.... clean after each shooting. Several years ago, I took a Ruger Single Six out for a spin. It had not been touched in 4 or 5 years. It was locked up so tight that nothing would move; like cement. I took it completely apart, re-cleaned and lightly lubed and it...

Thank you all for the wealth of information; I really appreciate all the commentary. I will definitely try to remember to lube my cases; I shoulda known/done that, but I guess I didn't think of it (again). I only reload the 9's because I can get so much better accuracy than factory fodder; but I...
