Is there anything better than citric acid to clean tarnished jackets?

I just watched the video @RGRobinett shared a link too. I wasn’t bringing water to a boil with the citric acid. Just hot and it still cleaned them up some. Will try boiling next

This is what I use and it gives a factory like finish to the bullets. Polish with stainless pins.

@RGRobinett @geo.ulrich
What is your thoughts on 6mm short range bullet boat tails
Is there a preferred angle and length of the BT?

 

[geo.ulrich]

hello Tim, I would say its all according to bearing length, that being said 14 degree x .062- .068 seems to be common. of course the flatter the angle the better the b.c. if that mattered....

rinse with acetone afterwards to remove any residual water from inside jackets ,
