Another vote for walnut lizard bedding. I add 1/4 of a used dryer sheet and sometimes a capful of mineral spirits.

I started with treated corncob but after trying walnut have not used any for 7 or 8 years.

I put some car polish in it and let it run for a while before putting cases in after sizing.

Funny thing, I used Lyman walnut shell with the red rouge for years….got sick and tired of the red dust that would coat everything after tumbling my cases for a couple of hours.
Then I went to corn cob and have never looked back, no discernible dust to speak of, brass comes out bright and shiny and I am satisfied with the end result.
Tried sonic cleaning, as I have one for other projects, and also wet tumbling with pins…cannot stand drying, waiting and prepping brass with dinged case mouths, wet primer residue and the hassle.

Cheers.
