[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5396531, member: 5958"] Hmmm. I have had this problem. 1. Do not tumble nickle with brass 2. Decap before tumble. 3. I use purple power cleaner to remove all lubricant--say a cap full for around 400 223 brass rounds. double for 900 9mm rounds. 4. I do not use lemishine any longer. 5. There are tons of videos on youtubee about this issue, most are pretty helpful 6. I tumble for at least two hours. If I get some once-fired brass that can go up. 7. I like my brass to double as signal mirrors for F-22's. Bright, very bright. Look for neck cracks. Seeing more of this than I like in 223 on 3rd loading. As noted by TiminTN you may notice peening on the case mouth. Run your fingernail across one and you may feel it. I think this may affect tension....don;t really know but for my purposes there is no discernible impact on accuracy. Lot of "mays" here because sometimes I see no indication of peening.
