I recently picked up some Flitz metal polish, Barcode 65925 04587, at my FFL in their reloading section. It's this liquidy stuff in a white plastic bottle with a greenish color. I tried it out on about 100 rounds of various types in some lizard bedding (walnut). To put it bluntly, it completely obliterates any of the tarry residue on the necks of military surplus cases and it's far and away better than the Frankford Arsenal Cleaner/Corncob stuff I was using earlier.
Problem is, I don't know if this stuff contains ammonia or an ammonium based chemical that could weaken the brass. Is anyone familiar with Flitz? The container has brass tumbling instructions on it, but you never know. I also don't want it to adversely affect primer or powder performance.
