Was talking with an shooter and reloader today with a few more years on him then I do, and he mentioned that he used recycled dried out coffee grounds as tumbling media for his brass. He said his wife saves all the used coffee grounds, and runs water thru them until it runs clear, then dries them in the sun (or oven in the winter) when she has a pan full. He then uses these straight as is for tumbling his brass.
I saw some of his empty brass and reloads and the brass was all VERY bright and shiny, I'd say better then most unfired factory cases. Now is there any truth to this or was he pulling my leg ?
