    Common Newbie Question- Can I dry tumble loaded rounds to shine them up?

    I do just long enough to get the lube off of them.

    The only problem I ever had doing it was with a jacketed bullet with a soft lead tip. It ate away some of the tip. Granted it may be that I left them in to long. It was a long time ago and I haven't done it since.

    I dont, I dont see a need too. I dry tumble my brass before drepriming just to hopefully knock junk off of it,then I wet tumble after resizing,seems to work better to get primer pockets really clean. I'm sure if I had some rounds where the brass was looking funky I'd tumble them. But then again shiny brass is just for looks does nothing to improve accuracy.

    Just don't do it with Hollow Points. Don't ask how I know as how many toothpicks it took to fix them!!

    I’ve tumbled plenty of live rounds. Most often because I forgot to tumble after resizing to remove lube so ill just do it after loading. Never had an issue. Sure makes them look pretty too.
