I am going to try this

I was looking for ways to identify Brass. And ran across this method. Take clean brass and dye it with Brownells Ospho Blue.
These are not my pics. I did do one case but need to get some Ospho Blue on my next Cabelas trip. I just had a few drops. So only did some of one case. If someone has some can you try it and report back? Sure looks cool for ammo that is special like 30-06 made into 8mm Mauser ect.

I use different color 'Sharpie" pens and put a line across the primer/casehead

You just made the stopping/killing power increase by 10 fold, Chances are a deer will explode if hit in the lung/heart area!

Just like putting stickers and a fart can on a Honda.

Like the guy I saw in Lake Charles this weekend. He was in a Scion and he was gunning the crap out of it and it was spewing smoke that smelled like burnt oil and it was backfiring like a mofo. I think he finally heard it and stopped crapped out. I thought I was going to see valves flying before long.

I uze the marker on the primers trick at ranges so that they and I would know I was not taking brass that was not mine. As in the past was caused of stealing brass others had left that now belongs to the range. Disclaimer I am a brass who're. So I see their point. Plus the kids shoot ammo like it's free. Well to the it is. I have seen where others have used different methods to identify their own brass for that reason and also when a parent case is used to form another. IE) 30-06 intro 8mm or 5.56 into 300black out. This was done by soaking in a citric acid midline Red Koolaid. Or that s what they said. I wonder what they do to make the 40 S&W training ammo case's purple?

Oxpho Blue is the shite. I been using it for years.

Cool idea. I use the marker method for years.
Can you just do half the casing? That would really look cool.

I do see a lot of brass. I come across brass that the owners have marked. Most of the time it's a sharpy across the base or on the case side. I'd suggest a sharpy across the base. It's going to me a lot cheaper that the Ospho Blue. Just my .02.

Pretty cool looking cases. Looks like the Noveske line of ammo

I winder the long term effects of the chemical on the brass? I know that Brasso and some other Chemicals will weaken and harden brass over time
