Makdaddy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I suspend them in the plastic tray and hit them with a hair dryer and let it drip off. Mini Mags particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don,t laugh but what works for me with CCI's is to stand up the bullets in the plastic container they come in. Wet, not soak a cloth with Hoppes and rub down the rows of bullets. Then use a dry cloth. Takes a few minutes to do each 100 rd box. Cleans them slick as hell. Been doing this for years. I have never had a dud using this process.

wyliearms Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I flip them upside down in their tray and brush them off with a mag brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I used to do but it fouled up the brush. I then went to a hand brush but it waxed up pretty fast. Hoppes does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I simply stopped using ammo that was heavily wax coated. I use Eley Target when I use my Marvel precision conversion, and CCI AR Tactical when I use my full race conversion. Neither has excessive wax. Aguila HiSpeed does not have excessive wax either.
