How to remove tarnish on machined bullets?

[excaliber]

I just bought some machined solid copper bullets and they are tarnished from being handled but I can`t feel it. I put them in my tumbler with Flitz added and it only shined the bullets but didn`t remove the tarnish. What is the best way to remove the tarnish?

Thanks

This. If you're really anal about it, though, you can stainless steel tumble them. Really no point, though, it won't change anything downrange.

just shot them the way they are
but yes ketchup will make them shine line new for a few days before they tarnish back up from continued fondling

I just did a load in my SS media of old pulled bullet's and they look new.

I use the same homemade citric acid/vinegar solution that I use on my brass and then tumble in NuShine treated walnut (just to get a coat of polish on to seal them and help keep them all "shiny").

SS media would make them look better then new

Lemishine. It's a dishwashing product made from Citric acid. Shines up brass and copper.
