Wasn't able to purchase it in Walmart vitamin area. Anyone have any luck getting Citric Acid for cleaning brass cartridges in CVS or Walgreens?
Thanks, Steve

Get it anywhere canning supplies are sold, comes in little plastic containers like spices come in, and it's used as an additive when canning tomatoes. I'm also told it is sold at places that have beer/wine-making supplies. I don't make beer, but I make wine and meade from time to time, never used it for that.

Lemi shine in the dishwasher section is mostly CA.

about a tablespoon worth in a gallon of water works great on brass.

It's the main ingrediant in Koolaid.

Lemi-Shine is the easiest way for me. Not going to soak my brass in Kool-Aid, no matter
what is in it.

You can buy pure Citric Acid directly from Duda Diesel a chemical supply company in Madison, Al... Here is the link to their web-site.. The Citric Acid is listed about 3/4th's of the way down the main page.

Also available in 1-3-5 pound containers from soap making places online. That's the cheapest way to get it that I've found and where I get mine.

I buy mine off Amazon with Amazon Prime (free 2 day shipping). Couldn't beat those prices.

Just 1/4 tsp lemi-shine for me. (And dish soap)

A Citric Acid search popped up 11,400,000 results in .11 seconds!
That's pretty near as fast as the current administration spends money. :veryconfu
