Got some 445 brass off GB and took a look at it today. Alot of it has a redish deposit inside the cases that looks like clay or jewlers rouge. Some of the brass has live primers too. I fired the ones with hot primers and I'm going to tumble the brass and clean it up. Just can't imagine what the deposit could be.Â

Sounds like somebody went a little heavy on the liquid case polish with their media...
I'd toss all of it in some hot soapy water and let it soak; toss it around a little, rinse it, Â and then lay it on a dishtowel to dry....
Then do the dishes

Probably jewelers rouge. Can't remember the brand, but someone sells tumbling media with the rouge in it for polishing the brass. I have used some in the past, and it leaves a reddish tint inside the brass. Never had any problem with it.
