    Just go stainless and be done. It works so much better.
    My life working is only preparation for my life as a hermit.

    Just went this route. If you do you need to tumble with media first if your case lube on the brass. I made the mistake of not doing this and my brass was a bronze color. Had to let it all dry and then re run it thru the media. After that you have to check all of the primer pockets.

    i have to agree that stainless is the way to go. It is expensive to start and it's a longer process than the media. I love the final product my STM Rebel 17 turns out.

    My bet it you either used too much Lemi-Shine or left it too long. I did the same thing. I can run mine for 1hr for a good clean or 2hrs for a great clean. After that it does not help. When I forgot it over night..... It turned bronze.

    Not sure. You could wipe the lube off and it looked pretty good.
