I'm using a RCBS Sidewinder case tumbler with steel pins. I'm adding Dawn dish soap and Lemi-shine.   My cases do not come out clean on the outside.  Do the stainless pins wear out?  Any suggestions?

Did the cases come clean earlier? Change anything?

my cases were clean before, it is recent thing.  Maybe I added too much Dawn soap?

Don't overload the tumbler and use this:

With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.

What kind of cases, BP or smokeless? How much soap and lemie shine? Most important, how long are you running it? With BP I change the water after 1 hour, then run again.
