Hi guys, found an interesting thread on GT about finish polishing loaded rounds. Many say that it is a hazardous practice since the tumbling can possibly alter the qualities of the powder. The rational was that the friction generated can cause the coating of the powder to rub of and you will get faster burn rates as a result. Has anyone heard of this? Agree? Disagree? I had a buddy in HS who's dad was a commercial loader and always did a final polish on his ammo. He in fact loads match ammo for the AMU, so I'd like to think he has some idea about what he's doing. Any feedback?
