    Cleaning up loaded ammo

    What’s a good product to use for hand polishing dull looking loaded ammo?

      I tumble them in corn cob sometimes. It will remove tarnish and make slick again.

        I've used Brasso if I need to do it by hand. Otherwise, I just tumble them.

          Dull don't hurt nothing. Shoot it. Thumbling is a bad idea. It can break up powder and affect burn rate.

              Liquid polish for metals, fiberglass, paint, plastics, and jewelry. Great on Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Brass, Gold, Copper, Silver, Chrome, Nickel, Bronze, Platinum and more!

              A couple of teaspoons of this in corncob media and a few minutes in a vibrator tumbler.

              Pour it into the media and stir it around good and let it dry then load your brass into the tumbler.

              Mirror shine in no time.

              OR, you can wet a micro fiber towel with Flitz and do one at a time by hand the old fashioned way

                FYI, ammo manufacturers tumble or vibrate all their loaded ammo before boxing. This is to remove any case lube and other dirt, grease etc.
                I been doing it for more than 50 years and tens of thousands of rounds of every sort, even those with cast bullets.
                Having the cases clean and shiny and no residue also lets me see any imperfections that I might want to cull.

                    Here's the verdict. Surprised me.

                    The Statement Tumbling loaded ammo will cause the powder to physically degrade and result in dangerous pressure increases.

                        Ketchup is what a buddy uses on all his brass. Don’t know how, but it works.
