Cleaning "dirty" bullets
I seem to have backed into some old bullets recently that are dirty, the worst is the 264 Hornady 140 Gr Round Noses I found.
What can I do to clean these up...wipe them down with something? put 'em in the RCBS Sidewinder with what kind of media?

I have been out of reloading for some years and am just about to kick it off again. Got lots of old brass that the wife screamed bloody hell about when I suggested using her clothes washing machine...no dishwasher in this house 'cept me.
Any ideas welcomed.

send her shoppin and have at it.
she will get over it.
I have used salt and vinegar, simple green and the vibrator with walnut. each has its own degree of success.
I prefer the tumbler.

i THINK THE NAME IS iZZO OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, just soak them for 10 or 15 min and rinse with hot water, clean as e whistle. Make sure itis the liquid if you try it.
