Cleaning old ammo: Something to do during work meetings

[PlinkyDinky]

Just a fun little way to pass the time, using 0000 steel wool and carnauba wax on a bunch of old 30.06 rounds. Next up is cleaning and reconditioning their en-bloc clips.

Looks really good. It definitely gave it a new look. For the carnauba wax, are you using the one for automotive? If so, paste, liquid, or spray?

 

[PlinkyDinky]

Thanks! The wax is automotive paste, specifically "Mothers California Gold," applied with a paper towel/napkin and wiped off with a microfiber cloth I had lying around; very satisfying!!

I assume its a zoom or remote work meeting.

 

[PlinkyDinky]

Yeah, I'm too chicken for anything else!

Camera is presumably "off" during the ammo cleaning process...

 

[PlinkyDinky]

Haha, no, hands are below the frame!

That was gonna be my question too

You can get the same result by dry tumbling with some car wax and cob.

 

[PlinkyDinky]

Yeah, but then I'd have to mute my mic.

lol. All the while your coworkers watched you rub something back and forth aggressively in your lap out of view.

I wish I had a fake email job with the zoom and teams meetings you can zone out on

Pretty ammo

Wait so you're just jerking it through the coworker meeting
