[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3600968, member: 41653"] The brass that is prone to sticking primers is the brass that was wet with the primer in place, and allowed to dry. Outdoor range brass is prone to this, as is brass that was wet cleaned with the primer intact. Some sort of corrosion. One would think that like metals (brass case, brass primer) would be immune to galvanic corrosion, but it must have something to do with the alloy. I know brass is a zinc/copper alloy, perhaps it has to do with the percentage of zinc. [/QUOTE]
