Why do you think the finish is coming off? All I see is some blow-by caused by the case mouth not sealing, probably from too low pressure.

That's perfectly normal. Keep loading until they split.

Totally normal sooted cases. May or may not come off after tumbling.

Yep, sooty brass. If it doesn't come off in a vibratory tumbler, I can guaranty it will come out clean as a new case if you had a wet tumbling setup. But it is nothing to worry yourself about.

 

[Wise_A]

Heh, I've never had a case that didn't come out looking brand-new after tumbling with the Nu-Finish/mineral spirit homebrew.

Those are brass cases with powder residue near the case mouth, that's all. My brass cases look similar, some powders and combinations of powder and pressure will put more residue on the case than others. It's nothing to worry about.

Appears to be normal powder residue / soot on fired casing.

I have some 38 Special and 357 Magnum nickel plated brass that has been reloaded so many times the nickel has worn off is some spots (but that's a lot or reloadings...).

I hope to see you first so I can call the paramedics and leave before mayhem commences.

You said it was .45 ACP. Those are not .45 ACP cases.
