Removing Lead Oxide from my balls
When I received my 36 flintier it came with 3 unopened boxes of .360 Hornady lead balls. I don’t think they even make them anymore.(.360) So how old, who knows.
So I open the 1st box and there white (almost looks like PAINT)
I tried wd40 (not much luck)
So I tried Lime away let the set for an hour, put them in the Dillon with walnut media for an hour (not much luck here either)
So now I try vinegar, it turns white, hour later there in the Dillion for an hour (Better but no cigar)
Now I am not happy. BUT, By Hell and or High waters, I am going to get them clean.
Repeat vinegar and Dillon three more times. THERE CLEAN
I have 2 more boxes of these and I cant even look at the boxes let alone open them.
