So, I've got a bunch of greasy boolits now. What do you guys do to finish them off? Clean them in alcohol? Leave them lubed up? Do you guys like to run them through a tumbler to shine them up?

I use dawn dish soap to degrease then wet tumble in my STM tumbler. They shine like gold.
I put them in a tee shirt, knead them for about a minute to rub off the lube.
I tumble finished swaged bullets in 20-40 grit corn cob to remove the swaging lube and give them that nice "factory shine".
Hope this helps.

I think I'll do a combination of all your suggestions. The hulls I'm using weren't the best looking to begin with. I don't like to waste stuff. The hollow points are pretty small so I don't think I'll get a lot of media stuck in them.
