After many years of shunning 9x19, I finally bought a Taurus G2C.
I was given approximately 200 9x19 reloads. I do know the rule of not shooting another loader's cartridges so for the time being, these will not be fired. I plan to pull a few bullets and weigh the powder then refer to my loading manuals to see if I can identify the powder and recipe.
These cartridges have been hanging around someone's garage for some time; I do not know how long. They have lead round nose bullets (weight unknown at this point) and all have Speer cases. I'm sure you have seen lead that is exposed to perhaps moisture (doubtful here in Arizona) where a white coating of some sort clings to the lead. All of these bullets look like this.
The cases have discoloring but otherwise look good. I don't know if this would interfere with feeding if I do shoot them.
My question is. What is the best way to clean these cartridges? Is dry tumbling ok? At this point, I am not interested in pulling bullets then cleaning cases.
Homicide is the leading cause of murder.
