Corrosion from mouse urine

[Sundancer]

Another dumb question, but I have 20 primed 45-70 cases that I didn’t cover and a mouse pissed on them and now the brass has corrosion. I want to clean these off, but am a little concerned about additional reactions to chemicals like solvents or oil given the fact they are primed. I also don’t want to put these in my FA obviously even to just fire to discharge the primer. Again, might be overthinking this one, but wonder if anyone has experience with that. I have all my other primed brass covered and am not really sure why these 20 weren’t. Thanks.

Use 0000 steel wool to clean them up.

Kill the mice first then clean the brass.

I have to ask.....How do you know mice pissed on your brass.

Video?

Taste test?

Kill the mice. Clean it with their corpses.

Punch the primer and run through the tumbler again.

Tell Mickey to stay away from the brass, or you'll bait the traps with coach purses to kill Minnie.

Don’t drink from their skulls…that would take forever.

Can you use mouse brains to tan mouse hides?

We're gonna need more mice.

Thanos thought he was inevitable too but he still got his azz kicked

As for any corrosion, mouse piss or not, give them a wipe and rub with Flitz

Owls moved in and since then I think cleared out all the snakes. Used to see black snakes frequently and haven’t seen one for years now.

I live in the country and would not do without a cat! We had three and are down to one and told the wife to get a spare, ASAP, and she has not done so. We have not had a mouse in the house in 16 years since having cats we allow outside also. Indoor cats are useless for controlling mice. Once they mice get inside there is too much for them to hide in and avoid the cats.

When you kill those mice shoot them wit your 45-70, poetic justice
