[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1137088, member: 70595"] The reason the bullets were rough after dry tumbling is that the media had built up excess moly on it and the moly build up is being transferred to the copper jackets. Using hot water and dish soap will clean the excess moly off the media, but it makes such a big mess, I will just bag up the old media and dispose of it. I don't know what moly is being used, but 2 spoonfulls is way too much. I use the midway moly and only add 1/16 teaspoon per 100 bullets to be coated. I haven't had the problem yet, but I understand using over coated bullets may cause "glassing" of the bore and I heard it can be very difficult to remove. [/QUOTE]
