I've been experimenting with my new Frankford high-capacity wet tumbler, and I still haven't found just the right amount of Dawn to use. I use only a tiny squirt of Dawn, but the tumbler fills up with foam, and it seems that no matter how much I rinse the brass, there are still occasional .308 cases with soap film inside.
I'll continue to reduce the amount of Dawn and I'll increase rinsing after tumbling.
In the meantime, should I be concerned about a long-term chemical reaction between the leftover Dawn and the powder in loaded cases?
Most of my ammo is used up the same year I load it, but some of my seldom used ammo may sit around for years before I shoot up its entire production run. It is this long stored stuff that I'm worried about.
