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 casingsThe whole batch "normal" steel pin tumble brass

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.

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.
