So okay to shoot? I don’t mind cleaning my guns after each day on the range. Always have.

If you say okay then I will shoot and inspect the cartridge.

It is OK to shoot corrosive ammo. Just be sure to clean your gun thoroughly when you get home. The sooner the better. The corrosive byproduct is a salt, which is water-soluble. Run a few dry patches through to remove most of the gunk. Then run some soapy wet patches through to dissolve the salts. Then dry the barrel with some dry patches. Finally, clean the bore with Hoppes #9 nitro solvent as usual. That's the same routine I've used for years to clean corrosive black powder muzzleloaders.
