Resurrecting dated premium ammo

Post by Bullseye-53 »

I have some dated 8 to 10 year old RWS and Eley ammo, bricks of it, that has the lubricant dried up and very light corrosion on the heads of some.
I even found some Eley tenex from 2006 LOL!!
My older Wolf (Made in Germany) seems fine and the heads are still lubed.

Is there anything out there I can treat these heads with to soften the wax or whatever the heck they were originally lubed with?
Don't blame lazy people. They didn't do anything.

Greetings,

Try Pure Lanolin or Lee Liquid Alox.

Wet your fingers and spin the bullet to recoat.

I did this a while back. Yes, time consuming; but, better than tossing the ammo in the trash.

Use it for Training.

Cheers,

Dave
