A down side to wet tumbling is that you can get the Brass clean to the point where things going into the neck get sticky.
A while back I started a thread on lubing bullets when I seated them. This was necessary in .223 because the necks had been cleaned to the point where the friction between neck and bullet was causing some issues.
I stopped lubing bullets and simply tumbled the brass in some walnut shells for 20 min and the addition of the residue from the dry media made lubing bullets no longer necessary.
Stainless steel wet tumbling is a great way to quickly and completely clean the dirtiest brass, especially old range brass dug out of the mud, and bring it back into service. But it comes at a cost.
