I've been using dried corncob media in my tumbler. While it does a fairly good job, it tends to leave the brass with a sort of dull film on it.
I've read here that using polish along w/ the media will shine up the brass.
Q: Does that shine make the sizing process easier, esp. for handgun brass? I ran some 9mm brass today, and the sizing process (carbide sizing die) was...difficult. I used a bit of sizing lube from time to time to loosen it up a bit, but it made me wonder if polished brass would work better.
Q2: What's the best kind to use, and how much do you use?
