Heydrich, I like to use FMJ UMC ammo. I have read that others like the Wolf ammo at a little over $5.00 a box(50). Acetone is good but it evaporates really quick, I have found that it really doesn't get all of the old oil off for some reason, really screwed up a blueing project as a result. When I was in the Army they used a 50 gal drum cut in half and filled with diesel fuel, kerosene would prbably be just as good for overall cleaning. Isopropyl alcohol is also good. Go to K-Mart and get a spray dispensor of "Greased Lightnig" it works great but can be hard on the hands as it is a little caustic.
