Hi folks, I did do at least an hour of searching before posting so excuse me if this has been posted before.
I had gotten some TC Arms Number #13 non-toxic BP bore cleaner for my Ub 1873 45 long colt revolver when I shot it with Pyrodex, or BP. It cleaned the messy pyrodex pellet goo off real nice.
Yesterday I picked up a Cabelas (Pietta)Confederate 1851 Navy, yes with the brass frame. It looks nice but yes I know not as strong.
Today I shoot it with 20grains FFFG at 10 yards, and not bad shooting; just 1-1/2" high and 1-1/2" to the left. So I get home and use the #13 cleaner to clean the power off.
Powder came off nice but noticed where the cleaner had spilled out the backside over the brass, the brass was now orange
Not having any brass or metal polish (besides media) in the house, I tried the Weiman glass range top cleaner. This is to clean those black glass stove tops that have the burners built inside. It worked and cleaned/polished the brass back to normal.
Anyone else see this happen with #13 or other BP cleaners on the brass?
Its a shame it happened as this #13 clean the power off so well and is just like watery milk.
