    I'm tumbling mine in crushed walnut shells with Cabelas polish. I've been pulling some cases every hour to evaluate progression; up to six hours now. It does get shinier but the fine orange peel texture doesn't really improve. Comparing to new Speer Lawman LE factory ammo, the surface finish is significantly more textured though as I sad its pretty fine. That said, the as delivered finish is adequate to load and shoot in my opinion. What other dry tumbling approaches have you found success with?

    Wish I could see a closeup of your results, Cody.

    I'm pulling 20 or so at six hours to load tonight and shoot tomorrow.

    It's got a bit of a rough texture, the walnut cleans well and the corncob polishes better. I have a batch in walnut now using a different polish (Meguires) that's a more aggressive polish. Curious to see the results.
