About LinkBacksShot this brass off about 12 months ago.
Has been stored in airtight ammo tin.
It's gone black!
Doesn't rub off and no residue in the can.
All my brass is stored in same army ammo tins and never had an issue.
Anyone have any ideas ?

What's happened to this brass?
The high sulphur content in one of your components has given you a nice black tarnish. Especially as it was airtight and allowed the sulphur to do its work over a long period of time.
Ammonia would have given you a greenish blue tinge.
Time to put one of your brass cleaners to work !!!

Perhaps the air trapped in that partictular container was more humid than the rest, allowing the sulphur to do its job easier.
Just spoke to my sister in Cairo using viber on the iphone, she said theres a huge white owl on her washing line.A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

I know bugger all about this but I would say they were wet or at least damp....bugger.
They look like they had been lying in wet grass & were picked up.
They will be a bugger to clean....Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

I would agree with some dampness in the brass when stored. Penalty for being a brass whore?

Spanners list it all on trademe as camo brass. Some camo mad dick head is bound to pay twice the normal price for it.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

And make sure you use the word "tactical" about four times in the auction.

I've had that happen to wet/damp brass
If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

Not quite, but will use approx 25lbs of STM so that should give you an idea Originally Posted by DAF
