[QUOTE="osprey176, post: 2472855, member: 30899"] I used rice for years in a rotary tumbler,before I heard about crushed walnut and corn cob,and it worked well. The only issue I ran into was it filled up the primer pockets and occasionally got stuck in flash holes,creating another step in the cleaning process. I have since gone to wet tumbling with chips from Southern Shine,and although it’s more work,with rinsing and drying,it’s the best way I’ve found,so far. The chips can be picked up with a magnet,so I use a large,round one inside the sink drain to catch any chips that escape during the rinse,and leave them in the tumbler when not in use.I still use walnut for removing the lube from sized cases,but it only takes a half hour or so for that.
