    I still like the effective, oft-repeated home remedy for rusting
    steel shot.  Take a can of Coca-Cola, let it stand till the fizz
    goes out of it, then pour enough of it into your tumbler to cover
    the shot.  Let it run for a couple of hours  and your shot should
    come out free of rust.  If it's still a bit rusty, empty the
    tumbler, wash the barrel, pour the shot back in and repeat the
    process.   I gave up trying to dry  steel shot,  I just leave it  in
    its soap solution in the tumbler and it does just fine.  No more
    rust.  Incidentally, the above-mentioned brand of Cola is most
    effective.  I don't know how other brands or diet versions would
    work.        Dee
