Tarnished brass

[Criticalt]

Wondering if tarnished brass that has been laying in the grass all winter is still useable for reloading?
Thanks.

Yes, unless you see some unusual corrosion. Dark colored cases are not a problem. You can clean them up.

Clean them, reload them and shoot them.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Yes, do so.

 

[togmaster]

Yes.

Not sure how far away you are but if you want to bring them over I'll turn them into little golden soldiers for you.

A roll in the tumbler should clean them up good.

Well I have a Lyman Turbo Sonic 700 ultrasonic cleaner......but no tumbler.
Il look into one, thanks.

Ultrasonic is good too, but may not get them super shiny.

I use an ultrasonic with heat, simple green, and lemi shine. Lemi shine is the key and makes them bright and you really don't need to do much more.
