Bullets

[Hippy]

I have a BUNCH of bullets( 15-20,000) rangeing from 17-35 cal that have Tarnished from storage. Most of these are 15-20 years old. Any idea on how to clean them without effecting the performance ?

Thanx,
Jim

Shoot them as they are. Tarnish isn't going to affect accuracy. What you do to remove the tarnish may! :

Put them in your tumbler. It won't hurt them to be pretty.

+1 on that.

Couldn't that damage the bullet's tip causing a lack of accuracy??

I don't think running them in a vibratory cleaner will hurt the tips at all. Even if it did slightly, it wouldn't affect accuracy that much at ranges below 300 or so. I wouldn't toss 20k bullets no mater how tarnished they looked, I would just shoot them the way they are.
