[QUOTE="300win, post: 117702, member: 5965"] I tumble the brass each time it is fired. I prefer to tumble before sizing to cut down on build up in the dies. After sizing I throw them into some untreated media to take of any excess lube and give them a bright polish. If you do not tumble after each firing the cases become hard to clean. Several types of media work good, maybe just for starting out get a jug of Lyman pretreated stuff. I use allot of untreated media and add treatment as needed. As far as less powder for heavier bullets, that is the rule. Heavier bullets have a longer bearing surface (as a general rule) which means more pressure. Max loads are something that has to be found for a particular rifle/load combination. Never use a max load from someone else! I shoot a 7 stw with 120 ballistic tips at nearly 3900fps, but I would never try this load in another rifle without working up to it. [/QUOTE]
