All that muck used to just stay in my dry tumbler, load after load after load and I was one to r-e-a-l-l-y stretch out for years changing my dry media. @Texas Maverick That's great that you've done nickel and brass together with great results, congrats mate! Like @Eyesa Horg I've had just one nickel case amongst hundreds of brass and the whole lot went black and gunky. Yep, it is very dirty water. It takes a couple of rinses to get it where the water is finally clear after the tumbling. TM

Lead residue from the primers is in that water. I'd dump it somewhere else.
