Cool effect.
Take some black powder spent cases (Real black powder, not that fake crap) and steel pin tumble with your 223 brass, with a touch of Dawn and 1/2 teaspoon of Lemi Shine (prevents water spots) Side by side, normal steel pin 223 beside 223 with black powder casings  The whole batch  "normal" steel pin tumble brass  _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

Interesting. Normally if you showed me that copper-looking brass, I'd immediately say that you used too much Lemishine.
I wonder if there's something in the black powder residue that's similar? Or is it possible that you truly used too much Lemishine for the size of the batch? To usrifle: Just put too much Lemishine in.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

On a serious note, while I doubt this is harmful to the brass alloy, I want to study the reaction(s) going on.

Here is some 45/70 using the same recipe. Comes out case colored (2 center casings compared to normal casings on the outside) You have to apply 250 deg heat for 30 min.   _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

I think its the property chemicals of the spent black powder combined with lemishine? _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.
