Partly why I stopped shopping in that particular category.
@Hugh Shields, I am happy to put your brass through my ultrasonic cleaner if you think that would be helpful with the oil. Unless someone in Wellington chimes in with a similar offer, feel free to PM me and we can figure out a way to get the brass here.

Thanks @longshot for the offer of sonic cleaning, I may take you up on that but first I'll ask the question, "Does anyone living locally around greater Wellington have a sonic cleaner which I can run the through?

In the mean time I'll soak these again in acetone and scrub the inside with a bore brush. Thanks for the collective warnings re oil inside cases. Point noted!!!!
