[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WinClean-Is it clean to shoot?

Posted: 1/9/2005 12:44:10 PM EDT

Need the results from those who have actually used Winchester’s WinClean ammo.
I am not concerned about lead dust and range use, I want to know how clean the
Firearm is after using WinClean. Is it significantly better than other manufactures?
Or is it all just more money for the same old cleaning routine?

DING DING DING!
Bingo. I tried the Winclean 45 ACP ammo and couldn't tell it was any cleaner than a regular box of WWB. YMMV.

IIRC, it stinks too.

If you look at WinClean brass, the inside is pristine, as if it had never been fired. Compare that to a conventional primer, which leaves a ton of black gunk (with plenty of lead) behind. It's the lead content that it is designed to remove.

Unfortunately, the flash hole has to be enlarged for the WinClean primers to function, which is not good for reloading.

The range staff's lead exposure tests will be cleaner. Your weapon probably not.

my usp 45c didn't like them. cleaner doesn't mean no need for cleaning.
