Brass is clean now:
About 5 hours in the wet tumbler with stainless pins, a bit of dish detergent and a dash of Lemi-Shine these hulls are clean inside and out, primer pockets too.
These were fired with good old filthy Black Powder. Good as new. Too bad the bore couldn’t be cleaned that easily.
Twelve hulls aren’t enough, I’m just going to have to get some more.
