[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2969432, member: 2939"] DRY Tumble media polishing is IMO for the uniformed. I use a thumbler tumbler wet steel rod media. I resize and decap first. Check length and inside neck champher. Then the wet tumbler for remove all the case lube. The small steel media scrubs out the interior of the cases to help maintain equal volume size and no carbon in the throat. Dry media which I did for 20 + years just sucks. I'd be fighting stuck inside red walnut shells and the cases always had that media dust inside and out. Some calibers have the ability to last 10 reloades if anealled properly to help from getting work hardened and cracking the necks. I don't aneal until I get about on the third reload of say my 243 or 270 ai. These are a drying load of 223 and they look brand new after wet tumbling for 3 hours. Another load from a shooting day. :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCN2696.JPG"]519277[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
