Hey sorry for the delayed answer. Absolutely not. They're all bad ass dudes.

Noob question for the reloading post whores: I just tumbled my first brass with some Lyman tufnut media and it left all of the brass polished, but with a reddish dust coating, so the brass looks pretty dirty, almost a bronze color. Did I do something wrong? It wipes right off, but it seems like a huge PITA to wipe every case clean. What is the secret here? I did a bunch of searches and it seems like maybe a dryer sheet or two would have prevented this?

Yup, you forgot to add a dryer sheet. I usually tear them into 2-3 pieces when I tumble, and toss them out after each tumbling session.

I also have a pasta strainer that I put all of the brass in after tumbling and swirl it around a bit to get the last of the tumbler media off and also to knock off any dust. If you haven't figured it out too, you might want to do the tumbling outside because dust gets everywhere if you do it inside (although some people do tumble inside and deal with it).

Added several dryer sheets and it is still leaving all my brass with a fine coat of reddish dust... More dryer sheets?

SHIT CAN THAT RED CRAP. You could throw a dryer sheet factory in with that crap and still have red shit all over the place. For what you paid i can send you 2x as much corn cob media. I always use dryer sheets, used red crap 2x, cursed 2x's then went to walnut. Now using CC.

Well, I got it for free.... And so far it polishes the brass nicely, once you get the red dust off.

Would plain cc be better than reptile bedding (walnut)?

Cost wise, yes. the reason it polishes nicely, is the rouge imbedded in the media. Switch to CC, or walnut (bedding) with some NuFinish car polish and see the difference. Put the media in tumbler add cap of polish, run tumbler 20-30 min, then add the brass and dryer sheet.

And HB, I use lizard bedding (crushed walnut) and just discovered Nu Finish, and it really does work wonders!
