All my brass ends up looking shiny like that. What's the big deal?
When it glows in the dark, then I'll be impressed .

Funny! You guys are trying to make the brass as shiny as possible while I'm trying not to.
My 650XL's been giving me attitude since it entered my home back in Feb. One of the many issues was the tendency of the cases to stick to the resizer die in station 1. This results in increased force necessary to push the operating handle back down.
When I gave the Dillon representative my list of compaints (after comparing notes with my buddy who's had the exact same model machine for the last 3 yrs with nary an issue), the customer tech guy said that overzealous tumbling usually causes sticking.
None of you've ever experienced this?

I have forgotten to turn off the tumbler overnight and didn't have a problem reloading the brass with my 550 and they were very shiney. It is odd that making brass smoother could cause it to stick, did you try cleaning the die, maybe there is something in it.
Well, Well!! All that shiny brass, and it will make exactly "zip" difference on the way it actually performs. However, If that shiny brass is what you must have, go for it. [Oh yes, I have a tumbler, but once my brass is shiny, it gets used over and over (and over again) until it's dull. Then maybe another tumble.] Regards, Eagleye.

I know it doesn't really matter to performance but I always run mine through the tumbler between loadings. I just happened to have picked up some nice once fired brass and had new corn cob too.

This is my Lapua .308 brass, just annealed yesterday, then tumbled with corncob with a couple teaspoons of BRASSO!
