[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1114795, member: 39764"] All well and good and to each, his own, but lets throw this into the mix shall we.... The propellant itself comes packaged in 1 pound or 8 pound containers, none are completely full... So, from the time the propellant is manufactured, to the time it's packaged, to actual shipment to the store or you via some shipper (usually UPS), that propellant is being sloshed around in the container, sometimes abruptly (if the UPS employees are playing catch with your package)....:D So the propellant granules are rubbing against each other anyway... And the pills and the brass, same scenario... I don't see that tumbling for a short time after reloading makes one iota of difference in as much as the components get jostled and banged around way more than a few minures in a tumbler would do. I tumble all of mine (after loading for 5 minutes) to remove the sizing compound, always have and will continue to do so. I see no change in groups or velocity. I do see less chamber and receiver fouling. [/QUOTE]
