On Thr they tumbled pistol loads for up to 40hr straight and checked for velocity changes afterwards and didn't see any.
I tumble all my pistol loads except hollow points because my rotary tumbler packs the hollow point full and they are a bugger to clean back out.
I don't tumble rifle loads with soft lead tips. I tried it and my rotary tumbler beat the snot out the tips, bent them and marred them all up.
A vibratory may not hurt the tips but I only recently bought my first vibratory tumbler from a Black Friday sale.
My rotary is still running strong after 35years (homemade) but I couldn't resist the deal on the vibratory.
I will have to try this to see if the vibratory will beat them up or they will to heavy to tumble and just lay on bottom.
I have some old beat up .308s that look like I found them in swamp.
I'll put them in tonight to see if they will even tumble.
