[QUOTE="mtnboomer, post: 2482222, member: 32439"] Annealed necks would show inside and out. They would look discolored, but not "dirty." I suspect the tumbling media isn't getting down inside the case well enough to scrub all the carbon and burnt power out of the necks. The inside of the cases - especially around the flash hole - are likely still dirty, as well. Soak the cases in Naphtha for about an hour, let them dry, toss them back in the tumbler and see if the inside of the necks will clean up better. If so, the media isn't aggressive enough or is worn out. I would use crushed walnut media [I](go to the local Petsmart and get a bag of lizard litter)[/I] for better results. On the other hand, if it is the annealing the OP is talking about - that ain't going anywhere because it's all the way through the brass. [/QUOTE]
