    YosemiteSam liked post by Max Headroom On thread : Corroded brass

    Hi YosemiteSam Re the corrosion, dunno - what did you have on your fingers? It looks like some ancient ammo I accidentally spilled copper remover over. Try putting unfired brass in and leave a...

    I'll follow this as I'm interested in how these shoot and handle. What glass, bases, rings are you looking at?
