One even said .22 rim-fire ammunition is inside-lubricated! Boy, is that a surprise!

Real answer, rinse** them in a bucket of clear water and lay them out to dry! Tumbling, especially .22 rim-fire, should never be done with loaded ammunition, for several reasons, in spite of people often doing it!

** Changed from "wash" because I was afraid someone may think I meant to use soap!!!

Now, why in he!! did I post this?????????????????? Even more to the point, why did I waste my time reading the first 22 posts?
