Which tumbler media do you like best?

Media

Just a note, one should not tumble loaded rounds because different powders are coated to control burn rate.

i would hope most ppl do not tumble loaded rounds for more reasons than that

Corn cob with about double the amount of Lyman rejuvinator even cleans the primer pockets

Yes. Once they are tumbled at the factory and then bounced down the road for several hours before you get them, any further tumbling could cause the powder to transform into enriched plutonium.

Canister powders available to reloaders are even more fragile.......

I'm very new to reloading. Tried some corncob media bought at a pet store and it was incredibly dusty and inefficient, total waste of time. Switched to ground walnut shell, seems to work much better.

I only tumble the live rounds that the police leave stomped into the ground at the range. Their ammunition seems very tumble stable. Mostly Remington but some winchester.

Lyman green corn cob. Takes about 2-1/2 to 3 hours when it's fresh. I tried the red walnut but it left too much residue.

X2 Lyman green corn cob works great.
