My question is why would anyone put WD-40 on their gun??? I have had the same rounds in mine for about a year now, and don`t plan on takeing them out.
The "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water displacement"; most folks that do so do it to combat the effects of rain/humidity/perspiration. I've heard it is common for LEOs to do so at the end of their shift......spray the gun down (or a rag) and wipe it down, then put it back in the holster. Eventually, some of the WD-40 seeps in and deactivates the primers.

In regards to your question, Adam, I change mine betwee 6 months and a year.
