Hi
I was rooting around my garage and found a box of .45 200 gr SWC I must've casted years ago. The lube in the grooves has gone dry and brittle (cracked mostly, missing small chunks is some).
I'm assuming I have to relube the bunch. Is there an easy way to clean out the old lube? I'm hoping I don't have to melt and recast the box.
Thanks
