At this point, I think it might be good to start to reload but I'm not 100% certain. I'm not a reloader. To get it nice and polished, I'd need to acquire a media tumbler.
I think the ultrasonic cleaner will make quick work of cleaning & degreasing any metal part I put in there. Until I ascertain the differences in cleaning solutions, no aluminum parts go in the cleaner. |
I just use strait vinegar non diluted in my Ultra Sonic cleaner that I get at Walmart they have a cleaning vinegar thats 6% instead of 5% little stronger same price white or apple same never mind cleans the same, let it run for about 45 minutes and the brass comes out looking like new but you'll need a tumbler too get it nice and shinny.
