There are some differing opinions on tumbling loaded ammo:

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 tumble it twice for every reload.

First, I tumble the dirty brass after firing (every time). Clean brass will not scratch your dies; dirty brass can scratch your dies.

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.
