This is not a good idea . The ammonia in Brasso will make the brass brittle.

@northdude do a bit of research about it, you may be able to counter the effects by washing cases ? and it may take a fair while for it to have an effect. Depends how long you keep the cases, its only something I have heard about not experienced myself.

Yeah like @specweapon spotted are your cases primed? before going in the tumbler? ( the one on top looks to have a unfired primer in it. If so check inside your cases as a piece of tumbling media could be trapped in the flash hole and will cause a misfire.
