Media tumbling bullets

7887mm08

Member
I just pulled over 200 rds of reloaded 308 shells. the bullets are 150 gr spritzers with an exposed lead tip. They are tarnished badly. Is it ok to media tumble? I was wondering if the tumbler will mess up the tips. Thanks
 
You could probably get away with vibe and corncob media but I wouldn't as it will surely deform the bullets slightly. If you want shiny ammo, load it up and hand polish it afterward.
 
Some if not most of these bullets are green and I don't think I want my seater die getting scratched. They feel rough in some spots and I was worried about my die more than the looks

That's a bit more than tarnish. I'd tumble thrm shiny and not worry about the tips. They can be gawd awful and still shoot nice groups.
