I tried dry tumbling without BBs and it worked fine! A bit of trial and error on the "swirl' technique, but all was good!
In the 5.5 years I've been doing the ASBBDT method, this is the first time sans BBs.

i have never used them and get great coatings with powder
Same - just tumble for a few mins in a #5 container.
I coated and sized 600 bullets in total without BBs. I think I like it better. More to study...
