nope nothing to do with lady shooters...

I reciently started wet tumbling with stainless pins, using a drop of dish soap, & a couple scoops of citric acid... does an awesome job cleaning up the brass... however, if I have one of the dark brown / black cases, those clean & polish to a pinkish cast... on another thread, I think it was mentioned that was some sort of reaction with the copper that turned them dark when left in the elements...

... I'm wondering if these might be weaker than the other non pink cases, perhaps more prone to cracking??? anyone have any experience with them ???
