Nothing "wrong" or "off" about the hand-cleaner. It works as advertised, and very well at that.
I'm betting it worked too well, and pulled every last bit of oil/powder residue off the brass. On top of it being overly "dirty" to start with.
Once I wiped the brass off and retumbled it with just Sunlight & hot water, it came out perfect.
And BTW, I didn't find them at a certified range. But the area I was at is occasionally used by the military for training (I find IMI brass a lot, too).
But it's more frequently used by campers/party-goers/recreational-shooters/etc, and 2 weeks ago when I came to this spot it was already occupied by 2 young males who were definitely shooting semi-autos in 10rd "bursts"...
Anyone want 20pcs of 300aac BlackOut brass ?
