- I have a shooting buddy that recently asked me to post a question to the
- group to see if anybody out there could help him.
- He has noticed that his FEDERAL 9mm ammunition has a greenish, stick
- residue left on it after a few days on duty (police officer) and was wondering
- if anyone knew what was causing it.
-
- At first I thought it was corrosion, but he tells me that it wipes off with
- a clean rag and does not pit the casing of the round.
-
- Could this be a reaction with the chemicals in his leather holster, etc.?
