cleaning old ammo

[jmoore]

Where did 7.62x39 come into the picture?

Mr. Horton's link above was discussing 7,62x51 (including Wolf) in a Non-Enfield. I've shot the ammo mentioned in an Enfield or three (L42a1s AND L1a1, Plus some Ishapore 2A1s). The L42a1s shoot some lots of British L2A2 ammo about 1 1/2 MOA or a bit better, so I'm pretty satisfied!


Is some surplus ammo absolute hammered dog poo? YES! But some is super fanatstic. Plus, some .folk REALLY don't need to be reloading...like me, right now-no time!

But,back to RJW's original topic, Mr. Horton, how do you recommend degreasing loaded ammo? My way is labor intensive- rubbing each one w/ a cloth- minimal solvent as required.

I would either use a dry terrycloth rag or a dish washer with a good pre-clean cycle.
