Re: Tumbling brass?

BTW, I hear that you can get tumbling media cheaper by going to pet supply
stores and get the (walnut?) media used to line reptile tanks.

Re: Tumbling brass?

Yeah, and if I cared enough I could dig out just as many links showing it is harmless. That has been discussed on gun forums forever.

I'll start with noting that every major ammunition manufacturer finish tumbles their loaded ammunition.

And that is all I have to say on the subject because I don't care enough about it to argue further.

I don't know what argument you're referring to; I merely pointed out there are different opinions and the the links
I included discussed both sides of the topic.

Re: Tumbling brass?

Whoa. How did this thread get hijacked from cleaning brass to talking about tossing around loaded ammo?
The OP is asking questions, one person answered and included the fact that they tumble loaded ammo. I merely
responded to that by pointing out their are different opinions on doing that, just so the OP was aware of that. I neither
condoned nor encouraged the practice.

Re: Tumbling brass?

Then, I have a second tumbler that I use to tumble the newly reloaded ammunition before putting it into storage. I like to make sure all the bullet lube is off and the brass has a shiny new Flitz finish.
There are some differing opinions on tumbling loaded ammo:

Re: Tumbling brass?

I tumble the brass after shooting, then sort and store in plastic containers until
I reload it.
