Exactly,maybe a matte finish effect is a better to describe than peen.If you size,trim ,chamfer inside necks then tumble to clean the lube the effect is even more pronounced.
I'll stay with dry media tumbling either way.I don't shoot 12,000 rounds a year,that's 250 rounds a week on average over a year,take that to an 6-8 month season,that's a lot of wet tumbling needed.
