Have done it before , will do it again and actually have some .223 I loaded 20 years ago in the vibrator now but haven't turned it on yet. I found a cardboard box of 800 rounds on strippers in the garage that had some green growing on it . Never had any problem with doing it before but I don't leave them in long term , usually 30 minutes or less, more often than not on the less. As someone above stated they get the vibration treatment in the manufacturing process so why not.

For the guys tumbling to get the lube off. Why not just wipe it with a rag with some mineral spirits or such on it? You ever load several thousand 45ACP in a couple hours? And.....yes I like to use lube on pistol using a progressive.

If powder was as fragile as some people believe and degradation by vibration was real I don’t think our military would have lasted long. Think about how much “vibration” the ammunition for military use sustains. Riding around in humvees, planes, armored vehicles, large transport vehicles, etc. Military ammunition spends its life in a vibratory environment but even decades later it still goes bang.

I do it regularly, never a single issue whatsoever.

We have a very senior member on a Canadian forum. Among his many credentuals; he has worked for ammo manufacturers, worked for a powder manufacturer at a senior level; spent decades custom loading ammo for target clubs and police and military contracts. He sort of laughs at the tumbling loaded ammo question because factory ammo is tumbled. You know the tumbling might knock the coating off argument? Turns out that the coating is tumbled on in the first place. Cool cat, with a insight that just can't be guessed.
I quit worrying about it after talking to him. I'll clean my match ammo after loaded and never give it a second thought.
Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
