[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1681679, member: 9308"] Tumbling in stainless steel pins, with Lemishine and Dawn, isn't perfect either. The case mouths get peened and 'rolled'. And the inside of the necks get 'too' clean, leading to cold weld. So...now you have to add something new to your reloading process to account for that. Then there is the rinsing and drying process. This isn't to 'put down' the SS pin method. It works. As does corn cob or walnut media in a vibratory 'tumbler'. Ultrasonic cleaning also works. They all have their pros and cons. The OPs brass is 'etched'. There was something in his media (Brasso?) that attacked the cases. If it has ammonia in it, you don't want it on your brass. Just trying to keep it real. Some people want to claim 'their' method is the end all, be all. And that's great they are happy with what they are doing. But there is no panacea. Each method has 'problems' that have to be known and addressed (or just accepted.) [/QUOTE]
