And, that's why I'm not going to shoot them.Since it is a type of salt in the primer compound, cleaning with water works very well, similar to cleaning black powder firearms. Unfortunately, the M1 rifle is not easy to clean using those methods.
I would guess then, when the CMP measures throat and muzzle up in 4+ that that doesn't just mean sloppy cleaning habits/shot out, but also improper cleaning.
