[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1294219, member: 64108"] Remember that the bullets is more or less rusting to the brass so I think an agent that is more of a liquid/wax would prevent electrolysis better than a powder. That's why I use Imperial wax on the necks, and have applied to some bullets, as well as using HBN. Differing metals corrode when they're electrochemically dissimilar...the rate of corrosion is based on the difference in their anodic index...and the metal with the higher index is the one corroded. Copper and brass have very similar V's (given brass is 60-70% copper depending on alloy) so it's very slow to occur. Benzotriazole and tolytriazole are copper corrosion inhibitors but I would apply it to the brass, not the copper as I'm not sure what effect it might have. [/QUOTE]
