Reporting because it got stuck at the bottom....
Ok y'all, so I got this thing and loaded up my first cartridges yesterday. 45ACP of course.
My next question is about tumblers and media. bapple recommend stainless. My uncle told me that he uses a normal tumbler with plain long grain rice. I'm torn on what to do!

If your cases land on hard concrete and get scratches, the rice is gonna have a much more difficult time getting those surface scratches out. The stainless media will smooth it out much better.

I use a normal tumbler with some media, I dont even know what it is. I usually just tumble it until it looks ok, then I load it and shoot it again. I dont really need my rounds to look brand new or anything. They look good, just not quite as shiny as brand new.
That being said, if you got the money to spend, stainless media or a sonic cleaner is the way to go.
