[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1115194, member: 2736"] I think you have verified through testing and answered your own question about what most everyone is saying with your SD increase. There are many reasons "Not to tumble live rounds" and almost none to tumble live rounds. All powders have a coating that stabilizes the burn rate and makes the powder consistent. If you alter or degrade this coating it will change or make the burn rate inconsistent shot to shot as witnessed in your results. (This was very good information because I have never tumbled loaded rounds because I did not want to find out how it effected the powder). Now we know. There are many other possibilities of something going wrong, and I for one don't want to think about them. In My Opinion, polishing/tumbling brass is better served by doing it to fired cases because it also cleans the inside of the case and the primer pocket. Just because many don't think it's a good idea doesn't mean it cant be done, just that it sounds risky to some of us and not necessary. Just My Opinion for what it's worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
