how to clean up some really NASTY bullets

Hi;

     Why is Brasso  a  No-No  on brass?

I think it is because some of the components will kill primers.

Gents,

I keep a batch of corncob on hand with a couple of handfuls of washed gravel tossed in. I use this to tumble my buckles and sling hardware prior to Duracoating them. Works AWESOME for cleaning stuff up. I have used straight washed gravel for other items (steel stuff, rust removal) works GREAT!

the ammonia can weaken cases - makes sense - sorta - but then why do some powders have a ammonia smell to them, maybe it'd they have an ammonia-LIKE smell to them

Stay away from Simple Green for cleaning brass and copper. Prolonged exposure to it will cause many non ferrous metals to turn black. I found this out at a place where I worked about 10 years ago. They tried cleaning a bunch of small brass parts in it for several hours. When they took them out they were all black.  Bill T.
