Torture Testing Ammo

I had always been told that if I didn't clean the solvent out of the bolt and especially the firing pin hole that it would migrate into the primer and kill it. So I was bored and put a Federal Hydrashock and a Winchester Personal Defense round into a small tray with Kroil solvent up to the extractor groove. Anyone familiar with Kroil knows it'll go anywhere there's a seam so I figured that after a week that the rounds would go click when I shot them. I have always been paranoid about my self defense ammo because the pistol is always loaded and a round is against the bolt most of the time. This short video shows the results.

Pretty cool Mark,
I did alot of "testing" with primers when I was a kid. So of it was goo, some downright dangerous. But I too found that they are pretty resilient. Good shooting too by the way.----SS

I have a friend who has a coffee can full of primers that went through the Johnstown PA flood. He still uses them and they still go bang. The only dead primer is a burned primer in my book.
