[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 4021731, member: 43754"] Zinc is a key component of brass cartridge alloy. If you have attacked the zinc in the alloy you have weakened that brass and for safety reasons you best course of action is dump that brass and start over. Pyrodex fouling also has a component that attacks zinc in brass if not properly cleaned. I failed to clean 100 rounds of 45/70 brass and stored it for a year. I had 100% failure of those cases, just sitting. Zinc give cartridge brass strength. [/QUOTE]
