I think it does cut down on the possibility of being sticky in the firearm too.
No it doesn't but thinking that helps you justify the time you spend cleaning it. But I'm with you brother; I use stainless steel pins which gets everything real shiny inside and out.
I take whatever the tumbler spits out and am happy with it as long as it shoots

OK, now whats all this talk about little steel pins? Still using corn cob media and frankly its outdated, slow and a PITA. Lets hear it.
+1 RobI agree, I like shiney brass
I looked at corn but the mess and the idea of fishing out stuck bits of corn put me off. The stainless steel pins last forever. I use an old rock tumbler my son had when he was little, throw in pins and a drop of dish detergent. A few hours later I have clean brass. I need to upgrade my tumbler because I can only clean about 20 at a time in a kid's rock tumbler .OK, now whats all this talk about little steel pins?

Go easy on the Brasso. Its great stuff but has ammonia in it which is a brass killer. I like it too but I don't use it around ammo or brass.I use crushed walnuts and they do a nice job along with a tablespoon of Brasso,,they come out looking like New Money

Don't need shiny just clean 10mins in the ultra sonic cleaner then stand on the drying rack overnight.
