I find myself a few times a year polishing the brass on my muzzleloader. I also polishing anything else that I may have been made of brass when dealing with my muzzleloader. I.E. powder measure and the like. Is there any good reason to do it? I personally can't stand it not being shiny. I believe its a OCD thing. Could be years of being in the Army. So the reason I ask the question is just to rationalize me doing it. I'm sure the deer will be happy if they ever get a reflection off it.
