Hi all,
My initial forays into reloading are going exceedingly well. My .300 Win Mag now kicks less like a mule and more like a 10 year old. Still annoying but not injurious. And accuracy...whew...I never knew how crappy most factory loads were (although I'm sure some are good).
To the point: I'm reloading Norma brass and Barnes Triple-Shocks. Within a couple of weeks following reloading, the shine is gone -- replaced by a dull tarnish of both bullet and case. What can I do to keep this from occurring? Anything?
Is this issue a cosmetic one only, or can tarnish contribute to reduced ballistics or accuracy? This may seem like a stupid issue to you, but I want my hard work to be BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks!
