Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

I use steel wool. Wipe off with cloth to remove any wool left behind. Never had any problem.

Thank ypu Sanders! Well, I guess I could put the tumbler in the barn for some margin of safety. The bullet itself is a Noosler style - very pointy and I am almost positive it is stainless. I might cut one through with a hacksaw, but I'll bet it is solid.

The primer sealant is green. The actual bullet looks to me to be solid stainless steel. Never saw a billet like this before. This ammo has some corrosion on the casing - almost every round has some. What is the best way o clean them. I have been told they can be safely put into a tumbler (sounds scary to me). If legit - what is the medium to use? Can they be sand blasted? Sorry, this is not my forte. Thanks in advance for the help!

NEVER tumble loaded ammunition. The tumbling action will cause the propellant to break down into a fine powder which will have a VERY different chamber pressure... than say... IMR. The circle with bisecting lines indicates ball ammo..IIRC.

This guy I work with likes to pick up brass and he ran across one didn't recognize. I am thinking it will be easy for this crowd to tell me what it is:

FC at the top (so I am thinking federal)

2 at the nine o'clock

4 at the 3 o'clock

13 at the bottom.

Size is about 30.

Thanks guys.
