[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5606138, member: 5958"] When this happened to me I traced it to (Lyman) walnut media not removed from brass flash holes. My resolution: 1. Throw all walnut media away. Hate the stuff anyway. Gets caught between my toes. 2. Corn cob media tumble all the brass in that stained batch. 3. Pick every last piece of corn cob out of flash holes and be sure none gets into the SS tumbler. 4. SS tumble your brass to get inside and primer pocket clean. Be sure no nickle plated anything is in the tumbler. If you mix nickle with copper brass in a SS tumbler each piece will come out with an ugly dull color. Again, you have to corncob tumble to get clean. This happened to me twice. I am way more careful now. [/QUOTE]
