Uhh [emoji849], What happened to my brass?
Threw a load of SSA brass in the vibrator like always... added a little extra Frankford arsenal brass polish.
This time I did not wait too long for the brass polish to absorb, as I've never seen a problem before.
A few hours later, the brass looks great but some of it is covered in what looks like a dried dirty powder slurry residue.
See image, my brass almost always comes out looking like the piece on the left. Nice and clean. But this time some pieces have a lot of that black crap stuck to them. You can rub it off with your finger or finger nail. You can feel it, because it's built up a little bit on the brass.
But never had that problem before. What is it?
I'm assuming something to do with the brass polish I put in there. I also noticed some of the media was a little bit sticky. It did not always pour easily out of the inside of the cases. Had to tap a little bit extra to get it to come out.
The Hornady Corn Cobb media was also pretty dirty. So I changed all of the media, this time did not add any brass polish, and am attempting to re-clean.
But anyone had this before? Know what happened???
I could wipe the outside down with my hands and a rag, but then am worried about the extra residue on the inside of the cases.
