[QUOTE="PddPdd, post: 2109069, member: 111799"] I too found some problems with the exterior surface of the brass changing color & perhaps composition if I put too much lemishine in the tumbler. I only use 1/2 teaspoon now. Also the peening issue may vary depending on the diameter of the tumbler. I use a small Harbor Freight tumbler that only has about a 3-1/2" diameter so less distance for the brass to fall versus some of the larger tumblers. I also switched to Southern Shine media instead SS pins which has resulted in no more stuck pins in primer holes. I now only run the tumbler about 15 minutes for rifle brass to avoid completely cleaning the case neck interiors for neck tension reasons. [/QUOTE]
