How soon do need to clean your rifle after shooting ammo with a corrosive primer?
A couple of hours? a day? a couple of days?

Keep your Powder dry and your Musket well oiled.

I was thinking about buying some of this because of the brass case.

I clean mine as soon as I get home.

I do not recommend leaving a gun un-cleaned for any period of time that had corrosive ammo fired in it. However, I would not let my steak dinner get cold and the beer warm to rush into cleaning it.
If you shoot corrosive primed ammo head home and clean the gun before you go to bed for the night, there is NO POSSIBLE harm from shooting it.
My friend wants me to buy some ammo for his AK-47 that I talked him into and I don't know how often he cleans his rifles.

I've run a lot of this through the AKs and SKS. Windex wash, dry and oil, and never an issue.
You know these are Berdan primed cases, don't you? My understanding is that while reloading can be done, it is a lot more trouble and expense than it is worth.
