Corrosive Ammo

[TDH]

Try spraying some Windex/glass cleaner down the barrel while still at the range it helps neutralize the salts until you can clean properly. Works with black powder and substitutes as well

. . . Windex . . . helps neutralize the salts . . .

This bit of misinformation has been so often repeated that many think it is accurate. In reality, the salt in corrosive priming residue is potassium chloride, already a neutral compound (pH 7). The water in Windex can dissolve it, but we have to wipe the resultant salty solution out of the barrel before it causes rust.
