ok so im piecing together my reloading set-up i got my tumbler. i bought the frankford kit that comes with tumbler, corn cob media, polish liquid, seperator and bucket.

 

i have been reading the reloading book and manual for tumbler but its not really clear if i should mix the polish in with my corn cob or not??? i tumbled i first few hundred 223 and the came out decent. any advise???

 

 

thanks,

george

I put the polish on a used dryer sheet and toss it in with the brass.

I just pour a tablespoon or two into the media.

I have the same set up. I add polish every 5 or so uses and I add it before adding brass and let it vibrate for a few minutes first.

I made the mistake (once) of adding polish with the brass and wound up with a bunch of clumped up media and polish in the brass that I had to pick out.

Never had that happen, cuz I read the instruction manual

When i polished my 223 with corn cob, it got stuck in there. Major PITA. I use walnut for them.

Check your cases before loading. A piece of cob stuck in there could make a squib or worse over pressure.
