    All my black powder cases after a quick wash on Saturday are a brilliant silver/pewter colour.

    Assume the acid in the BP residue has tarnished them. Another clean with stainless steel media will probably restore them to brass.
    Not sure I'll bother won't affect functionality and it's quite a nice colour...
