Only tumble my brass when it needs it. Mine never hit the ground (all revolver shooting). I found that shiny vs. not shiny, all shoot the same. Inspecting not shiny brass isn't any more difficult than shiny. So again, don't bother unless they need it, then into the tumbler they go. I do wipe each with a paper towel before it goes into the sizing die.
