What to do if the tips of bullets are green with corrosion

Came across this question @ Yahoo Answers.

Just use #000Steel Wool with nothing on it. Brasso and other solvents will neutralize Powder and Primers on any ammunition. They will be perfectly safe to shoot as long as the green corrosion is on the bullet itself and not the casing…….

I recently discovered Yahoo Answers. I have not asked any questions, nor do I intend to. Most questions I have can be answered by fellow shooters and friends, and if they can’t help me I turn to gun forums.

There do seem to be some knowledgeable people answering questions at Yahoo.

Yahoo, Microsoft and Google do not allow gun blog advertising

Microsoft Ad Center does not allow advertising that promotes firearms:Guns Banned

Advertising that promotes firearms or weapons of any kind is not allowed.

Neither does yahoo:

We will not show results on pages that contain problematic content, including but not limited to:
….
Weaponry, ammunition, fireworks or explosives

Nor does google:

Sales or promotion of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)

Google’s restriction is only restricted to sales but this has not stopped them from banning gun bloggers.

Unfortunately gun bloggers are out of luck with Microsoft, Yahoo and Google: the mainstream advertising network.
