I tumble mine in a rotary tumbler after loading. My tumbler can is round so there is no banging around while tumbling. 15 minutes in there to get the lube and finger prints off. I only hear the loading rounds for the first few revolutions then all I hear is the media so I know they aren't hitting each other.
Don't think the lube hurts any thing, especially after reading Slamfire's threads on reducing case head separation in rifle loads where he literally greases his rifle ammo. Nothing to be gained by leaving it on pistol ammo.
15 minutes in a rotary tumbler with loaded ammo seems to have the same effect as an hour with empty cases. They shine up quick, must be the extra weight of the bullets that makes the difference.
