Cleaning corrosion from old surplus 7.62x54

I have some 1955 Bulgarian 7.62x54 I got from my boss, some of the rounds have a little surface corrosion on the cases, anyone have a good way of cleaning that off?

Aren't those the rounds that were a little "explodey"?

I use 0000 steel wool to clean light corrosion of milsurp 30-06. Works well for me.

A dry Scotchbrite pad will work too!!!

Yes, scutter, they are. I thought about it, I received 440 additional rounds from Ammunitiontogo.com, still sealed in the spam can as 80's made Bulgarian. I decided to just order my boss an additional 300 to square up with him rather than risk insulting him by giving him what he gave me back as he didn't have to give me any ammo. Chalk it up to a learning experience, either way I'm quickly amassing quite the 7.62x54 collection.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll go with whichever I can find first.
