Don't know how long he stayed married or lived!
I picked up .38, .32ACP, 9mm, and .45ACP.
I used the solution of :
1 pint water
1 cup vinegar
1 table spoon salt
1 tea spoon detergent
Try it without the salt. It won't work as fast, but it will be a lot easier on your brass. Salt + vinegar --> hydrochloric acid, which is not good for brass. (might as well use water with detergent and a tiny amount of muriatic acid and a lot shorter soak.)
Muriatic acid and hydrochloric acid are the same thing, bud.
many years ago i would put a handful in a dirty sock, tie the end off and run through the laundry. Came out clean, if not polished. I am not convinced that bright shiny brass shoots any better than clean but unshiny brass.I had one shooter tell me once that he tied his in the foot of his wife's panty hose and put it in the clothes washer.
