I never though about that. Oh, well, I seldom have a day with a slight breeze anyway. I would be changing media every time I did that because there would be little or none left.
Yeah, it's tough to do in a gale force wind.
Another consideration is where you do this.....obviously there are contaminants in the dust so one needs to be careful about allowing it to go anyplace that you don't want it to go.
You can also accomplish the same thing with a small fan placed in such a way that it provides the needed air movement.
I'm finding that light loads aren't as appealing for this reason alone, keeping my brass clean.
Roger that. I like my home loads a bit warm. I like to practice with a recoil impulse that is similar to my carry ammo. Good tip though, regardless.If you want light loads that are clean you need to use the fastest powders. N310 is some of the cleanest I have loaded with.

White rice, no dust. When it looks more black than gray, I replace it. Under $5 for 10lbs, I’d guess there’s 2.5lbs in the bowl at a time, lasts a very, very long time. I tumble too often and too high of volume to say it lasts years, but it’s more thousands of rifle cases than I would care to keep track of counting, even in my reloading batch spreadsheet.
NEVER! I don't waste my time on tumbling. I couldn't care less how shiny the brass is. Ultrasonic cleaner gets it much cleaner, with less time, and less labor.I use a 50/50 mix of walnut and corncob. I have tumbled approximately 5500 cases, and the brass is coming out clean, and the media doesn't appear darkened much.
Just wondering how often people throw away their media and use fresh.
That’s an interesting idea. When I lived in the city Costco had 40 lb bags of rice for $12. How well does it polish?
