Question for the members:
I found this material in a group of R-P, Rem-Umc brass, 45LC, after cleaning. These were range pickup brass,
This is after brass was cleaned with Lemishine, Dawn, Water & SS Pins.
The stuff is not brittle and comes out easily with a cloth mop or brush. Don't understand why the pins did not remove it.
As they were range pickups, I don't have any idea what type of bullet, powder or lube was used.
Does anyone have any possible idea what it is and cause? Could this possibly be from firing improperly polymer coated bullets?
Thank you.

Gentlemen:
I managed to find a few more cases with the same material inside. These had not been cleaned. I have added 2 photo's of what I scrapped out from the inside.
The material is very thin, almost translucent, very soft and light gray in color. It extends about half way into the case. On the first 2 photo's it looked black, I think, because of being tumbled in the dirty black water with the pins.
If anyone has ran into this same thing and has another idea please let us know. Thanks for everyone's reply - that is what makes this forum such a good source of information. GJH
