It does not pay to just tumble 50-9 mm brass. Usually when I get off the range I will tumble all the brass that I shot plus what ever I picked up. Could be a couple 100 cases.
Yesterday a friend dropped off 50 9 mm cases that he shot over the weekend. I put them in the tumbler by themselves for a couple of hours with new media. When I got them out, they looked like they were never tumbled. Usually they will come out shinny. I grabbed about 250 9 mm cases that have been tumbled and resized and through them with those 50. I bet they come out shiny.
All of my brass is tumbled and resized so those steps are out of the way when I want to reload.
