I love dry tumbling after annealing and resizing my brass. Comes out really pretty. I use frankford arsenal corncob media. Not really any dust. I got some corncob off Amazon and that stuff was very dusty. Sent it back for refund.

Does it leave the annealing mark? After I anneal i just wet tumble…dry and resize. I usually anneal with primer in.
Very minimal if any. I wet tumble, dry, anneal, resize then dry tumble before they go into the Giruad. You anneal with live primers in the case?
wtf man? I anneal with dead primers in the case. Like when I get home with my empties.Very minimal if any. I wet tumble, dry, anneal, resize then dry tumble before they go into the Giruad. You anneal with live primers in the case?
I don't like putting dirty brass into my sizing die. Tumble twice is best for me.
this...
anneal, tumble, dry...resize, trim, chamfer...tumble.
I just started wet tumbling, my first batch was with 30-06 Garand food, I decapped and ran them with pins, hot water, Dawn, Lemishine, and car wash/wax, they came out looking like new, after annealing, resizing, and case prep I ran them through a dry tumbler with walnut with a little NuFinish to clean off the lube and put a coating of wax to protect the cases, I know this is to time consuming for a few people but I like the shine both inside and out, my next clean I might forgo the pins and just run it with them on very dirty brass or when I want clean primer pockets.
