I've got 300 bullets in 9mm sized and lubed with LBT Blue lube.
I want to load them for my daughter for long term storage and am afraid they will oxidize, so I decided to melt the LBT Blue off and PC them.
Cooked them in an oven on paper towels for 30 minutes to melt the lube off, soaked them in denatured alcohol and then in acetone.
Still has a white substance that appears to be soap caked in the grooves.
Wiped this out with a paper towel, but I know there is still some residue left. I probably couldn't get it all out of the corners of the lube groove and I know it probably still has a thin layer on the lube groove.
I should have just thrown them back in the pot, but I'm on a mission now and am determined to get them clean.
My wife says I'm hard headed. Can't imagine where she gets that idea!
I'm not trying to expose anyone's proprietary formula for commercial lube, just looking for an answer to getting these bullets clean enough to PC.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this last bit of white substance off these bullets?
