Tumbling loaded ammo!!

I ran into this statement in an article and am looking for opinions from the more knowledgeable members of this forum.

Never tumble live ammunition to make the cases brighter. Never fire any ammunition you suspect as having been tumbled to be cleaned. Tumbling can potentially pulverize the powder granules. As powder granule size is a means of controlling the burning rate, pulverizing them can significantly increase chamber pressures.


Input if you please, sounds reasonable.
