Nope. We're talking at least 700 or probably more .45 pieces of large primer brass. I'll resize em tarnished first

I have heard of people tumbling loaded rounds, but not unloaded and just primed. I would think you would be ok. I have tumbled live rounds before, not on purpose. I do though put .22 in the tumbler. .22 can be very dirty so if you tumble it for a just a short bit it cleans it and keeps the gun cleaner. Works too.

anyways I would think it would be an issue of getting something in the primer hole...but heck I don't really know.


If you have any casing that are shot and still primed you could just tumble them and see if crap gets in the flash hole? A little test.......

I would reload tarnished and then polish the finished rounds. I have done this before with no issues. What I didn't do was stuff the tumbler. I also would make sure up I didn't hang around this it was time to turn it off
