Cleaning Bullets?

Sergio Natali · 01-26-2014, 04:07 AM

Many years ago I remember that I cleaned old cartridges with "Sidol" an Henkel product, I suppose in the States you must have something similar (Brasso ?) its some sort of yellowish creamy liquid to rub with a cloth on the brass, let it dry for a few minutes, then clean your brass with another (clean) cloth. If in he bullets there is still the gunpowder do not use the tumble cleaner.
My 2 cents.
