I just received a shipment from a reputable mid-west gun store. Upon opening the box I have found that my order of Hoppes #9 Bore Cleaner had exploded somewhere during shipment and my Extreme Shock CT2 Tactical Ammunition has been completely soaked in the bore cleaner.
My question is the ammo safe to shoot if I just wiped it down really well ? Or can I even give it a quick rinse under water and then completely dry well with a soft absorbent towel ? Or this box of ammo lost forever ?
I must say the this great company is already sending me a replacement for all of my products that were ruined or soaked within the cleaner when it exploded which I must say has won over my business for sure ! All of course at their expense this time.
I knew something was up with my shipment when I approached my porched and smelled the familiar smell of Hoppes # 9. That smell totally takes me back to when my Uncle Lee used to clean his hunting rifles and pistols that he had around his home in San Fransisco back in the late 70's early 80's.
The name of the online gun store who has treated me like a long time customer and thus far I have only had two orders with them are: MidwayUSA.com. They have some pretty good prices on various ammo and good deals on other needed items to keep your gun in good working condition.
I appreciate the collective knowledge here on NW Firearms. I thank you in advance for assisting with my enquiry about if you should ever wash ammo or just lightly rise it or wipe it down or toss it when it has been soaking and coated in Bore Solvent.
The ammo in question states on the box that this ammo is for +P type guns but when I researched the ad at Midwayusa.com there was no mention of this particular ammo being the +P rounds. All the other +P rounds of ammo are clearly listed so I am not sure if this applies to this particular ammo type. It is .45ACP 150gr Extreme Shock CT2 Tactical Ammunition with the green polymer expansion tip.
I am curious to know if the solvent will damage the polymer expansion tip upon firing my gun. I would like to hear from other gun owners who have shot this particular brand of ammo and how was the recoil if any and did you happen to perform any tests to verify the expansion ratio of this type of ammo ?
Thank you for your time and knowledge. Peace be with you,
