I have a bunch of loaded 9mm ammo with brass cases that is beginning to corrode. I haven't been shooting much with ammo so hard to get over the last couple of years. I pulled a box down off my storage area and saw the issue. I guess I could polish them up with some steel wool or should I just throw them in my tumbler and run? ??

I don't think a tumbler is recommended for loaded ammo. You might get away with it a thousand times but it only takes once to have a serious problem.
I'd use your first choice, steel wool for heavy corrosion.

PS: you've got to shoot more often. haha

Zeke I was only joking on the tumbler, I agree with you isn't worth the risk. I may try a little Brasso on a cloth going to be a pain either way.?
