Am I just bored or has anyone else done this?

I've wiped them off with a rag before, but never shined them.

Do you shine your pocket change also ?
Some people do.
It's OK with me.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Whenever my carry rounds get to looking like they might need a polishing, I empty the magazine and put them in the shoot box. Next time at the range, they get shot.
Years ago when most of the casings were not nickle plated I would shine the twelve in the beltloops on my duty belt. Today with nickle plated casings on the defensive ammo I use I wipe them off with a silicone cloth before loading them in the magazines of my carry guns. Yeah I am a Type A.

I have to admit I've done it, but I use Simichrome. Polished/clean brass feeds better.
