Is there any way to clean brass that has black powder fouling in it without a tumbler?
Shot some black in my.45-70 yesterday ( I never had so much fun shooting a rifle! ) and now I can't get the brass clean. Right after shooting them I dropped the empty brass in a milk carton with warm water and dish washer and let em soak for a couple of hours, then I put them into my washing machine (in a bag) with some dirty laundry.
Now they still look like dirty little chimneys. I tried to clean them mechanically with a 45 caliber bronze brush attached to a drill but that didn't work that great.
Help! Its a race against time because they are already starting to corrode inside.
Why I don't have a tumbler? I never needed one, the washing machine took care of dirty nitro fouled brass!
