Brass condition question

[50 shooter]

Recycled bullet,
Those pics came out great and the cases look pretty good to!

Pins and a tumbler?

Yes the Frankfurt arsenal wet rotary tumbler with the stainless steel pins. The 308 brass from yesterday is in the toaster, drying. I just added a bunch of cartridges into the tumbler, 300 blackout and 308 Winchester brass with the turtle wash and wax, and added citric acid to see if it works for better, or for worse. Results in the morning.

Had time to add my brass pics to this thread and response. I wanted to see what you thought of before and after conditions. I used some 0000 steel wool to rub the spot. Hopefully the attachments are here when I submit. ;-)

Looking at the after picture, I would toss that piece.

It looks like there are pits in the brass, not worth the risk of reusing it.

I actually noticed that myself, 50. I need to clean the others up that have this same discoloration and inspect for the same pits. Like I said, it's not many so won't be out much by erroring on the safe side. ;-)
