I am sure you have heard of these three.

Why? Done tens of thousands with no ill effect whatsoever.I would not tumble primers. No, I would not do that.
Actual, real world controlled testing has proven otherwise. I've tested this many years ago with a labratory grade chronograph. I wouldn't embark on this without some prior knowledge of what I was doing. I only asked about others use of dry addititives and what they may have found to increase the efficacy of the corncob or walnut media.I have used the turtle wax...paste...Not sure what the product is called...maybe a small squirt into the lizard media. I run it 30 min to mix then put brass in. haven't used since I went wet...but w/live primers I assume corncob or walnut is the only way.
I WOULD be worried about flash holes, but like you said....prolly only affect SD/ES
Nothing but old man instinct, honestly. Primers are sensitive, I've always kept handling and exposure to a bare minimum and avoided ignition problems. I was taught to never tumble loaded ammunition, period. With unprimed cases, I've always had problems to some degree with clogged flash holes (I stopped dry tumbling largely because of it). To me, tumbling primed cases with the primer innards exposed to debris falls somewhere smack dab in the middle of all that. There's also the resale/customer support aspect to think about. The first one that fails to detonate will cause ill will with someone, somewhere. The second one is going to generate a phone call, email, bad review, etc. The third one makes someone angry, and the entire lot is suspect.Why? Done tens of thousands with no ill effect whatsoever.
Thanks for your old man instinct. I'm not asking about shipping, handling, sensitivity, etc. I already have first hand experience with all that and am not looking for an argument or Fuddlore.Nothing but old man instinct, honestly.

Entirely my opinion, based on my experiences. I wouldn't do it.
