Excellent Idea! That would be quick and efficient. I didn't think of steel wool. Something to knock that crud off. That will let the casings eject a little easier.
LOL
By polishing I meant like a buffing wheel on the opposite side of a stationary grinder. Not everyone has every tool in the book like I do. I forget that most of the time.
As the case expands in the cylinder that crud could just plain cause the casing to stick in the cylinder or chamber. Just depends on the gun and the amount of crud. As long as they are half way clean and the primers are still in good shape you should be good to go. What concerns me the most is the oxidation on the casings. That usually means a moister rich environment. So there is that to take into consideration if you get a failure to discharge. Not the end of the world if you get most of them to ignite you are still coming out ahead.
Which ever way it goes it's an excellent example of why you should keep you ammo in a relatively dry environment. The best way is those plastic ammo containers with a desiccant bag in there with it. I ordered a bulk supply of those things on Amazon for next to nothing. I got the 4x5 inch ones and just thew one in each storage container.
