Is there any reason for tumbling other than to have shiny brass?
Does the cleaning of the inside make reloads more acurate or more consistent? Does the clean inside give less wear on seating dies?

There is nothing I have seen to confirm this. I have not cleaned my brass in 3 years, LOL.

Probably not too much of a concern with reloading dies but the crud can be a problem with your firearm. I remember having problems with .308 getting sticky due to the powder and lube mess. It can build up in your chamber.

Why would you not want to reload with clean brass? This isn't cleaned with a store bought tumbler either, it's just a rangi home job with $40 worth of media.

Hope you are going to remove the pins b4 loading them.....

Yeah took a few mins, just poked them back in with a disposable chopstick. That's what happens with 7mm pins and 6.5mm brass The 223 had no such issues.

Have just got going with SS tumbling - what a superb result. My US tank has been retired. A very short time fad.

What's a US tank? I've found that a hefty squirt of dishwash is key, esp if I've used that spray-on Dillon case lube

Im seriously thinking about making my own Rangi case tumbler. Decided to search on Youtube and a aussie guy made one exactly like i was thinking from a windscreen wiper motor, looked sweet.

I'm going to make one of the full rangi toyota models this weekend.... not paying $400+ for one due to possible health concerns of the matrimonial kind.

I grabbed a Mazda wiper motor, wheels, coupling, cap screws and washers for $45... think I have an old 5 litre bucket of jib stop thats gone off I'll use for the tumbler...see what happens over the weekend, this is turning into a bit of fun.
