Man do I like this web site! Thanks to those who started it amd maintain it!!!!

Anyway, I heard that a quick and easy way to clean fired brass is to dip it in some phosphoric acid. Does anyone know what strength of acid and what the dilution would be per gallon of water?

Here's the background, a couple of friends and I went in and bought out a police range at a local auction. I let my buds handle the details and just cut them a check for my share. I never expected the amount of brass that was passed to me and how much of it needs to be cleaned. A good deal of the brass is tarnished and discolored from being stored outside. I figured that it would take me about three weeks to clean this stuff up in my tumbler running 24/7. My buddies have the same problem.

Thanks,

Joe Portale
