Hey guys. Its been a bit sinced I posted here but everytime I have I recieved the help I needed.
A while back I purchased some Winchester Super-X and they have been through a winter. They are stored in a safe. I just opened the boxes today to look at how they were doing. The cases (and I think a bit on the bullets?) have a blackish looking substance on them. It looks like it is from the oils on my fingers back when i touched them last. Well I was wondering, will it be bad to use ammuntion like this? How should I go about cleaning them? I have some BRASSO here at the house.
Just to be sure MarioT can you get a photo up of what you have?? I don't think it would be a problem but can't be sure until I see what it is your describing.

Sure. I will try to get a picture up later on today or early tomorrow. Thanks for the responce. I was getting worried that no one cared...
Here are the pictures:
These are the worst of the lot (Winchester Super-X 150 gr. Power Point). The other Super-X's, 180 gr. Power Point and 165 gr. Pointed Soft Point have a little bit of the stuff on them. Not nearly as much though.

Yeah. I was going to use some steel wool, not sure what kind I have though. I just have the brasso laying around, so i thought about it. I'll try to pick up some of the steel wool soon.
They look fine just stained so Dave is right get the steel wool on them. I have used brasso on cases before I got me a case tumbler Was that a good buy or what.
For the avoidance of doubt
DO NOT TUMBLE LIVE AMMO TO CLEAN IT UP, ONLY TUMBLE EMPTY CASES (WITHOUT A PRIMER)
