I've used all of the items discussed here before, without problems.
But...
Yesterday I went to tumble ~1500 mixed .380 cases in my Dillon FL2000B. The corncob media had been used previously but not a lot, it was still pretty clean. I added 4 capfuls of Dillon Rapid Polish to the media and ran the machine for about 15 minutes to spread out the polish. Then I added the cases and turned on the machine again for the cleaning.
After about 5 minutes, I realized that I had a few more cases to add. Shut off the machine, removed the lid, and saw that the Rapid Polish was still in 4 clumps about the size of a big marble. Hmmm...
I added the additional cases and let the machine run about 5 hours. The cases came out really clean and shiny, of course. And I couldn't find any of the Rapid Polish still clumped together. But I'm a little worried that a blob of the polish may have settled inside one of the cases where it would take up a lot of the powder space and raise pressures a lot, or work the opposite way and cause a dud or hangfire.
Comments or suggestions?
Thanks.
