They don’t use lacquer any more.

As the article stated, “...it is NOT caused by a “lacquer coating” cooking off and leaving its residue in the chamber. If you don’t believe me, get a spent shell and hit it with a blowtorch. Nothing’s coming off of that sucker. If you’ve bought your ammo in the past few years, it doesn’t even have lacquer on it.”

The older green stuff was lacquer coated. The newer gray stuff isn’t.

Your screen name is hilarious.

my bad for not reading the whole article and i haven't shot it in awhile so they may very well be/prolly are clean steel now, but hitting it with a blowtorch would burn off lacquer on the case(if it was there) and i doubt anything would be visible coming off as it's burned up in the process of torching it

i do know it was a problem in the past and the article makes a strong case for mixed brass/steel to keep it the chamber clean...

good article
