I always tumble my brass after they’ve been fired once in my RCBS tumbler with corn cob media. I than wipe each case off with a paper towel. Is this necessary and is the media an issue on internals of pistol if there’s some still on the cases? | ||

I don't bother to do that. They seem to come out pretty clean. | |||

So no issues with feeding reliable or internal wear? | |||

I use walnut rather than corn cob and have never had issues with the dust. I like it as it acts as a lube in the sizing dies. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Not with corn, walnut can be dusty and I quit using it years ago. I add a bit of liquid car polish for a bright shine.

If you are that particular, you should switch to wet tumbling with stainless steel media. It takes a bit more effort, but the result is fantastic. Wiping that dust residue off is not necessary at all. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Thanks for the insight fellas. Appreciate it! I’m sweating over nothing. It’s actually walnut media too. My bad. | |||
