I recently bought several boxes of sierra matchkings that are tarnished to a chocolate brown color. Can I throw these in the tumbler to clean them up?

  No problem doing that at all, it will just make them nice and shiney like they were new, and they will slip through the air better[:D]

  How true. It only took me one time tumbling deprimed brass to reform my practice.
  
  Save the seals-club a liberal instead.

  I tumble old bullets and tumble de-primed brass in corn cob media with excellent results, yeah you have to pick some "junk" out of some orifices but doing this gives me a chance to inspect each piece that much closer and it really doesn't take that long either. The time is well spent in my humble opinion.[;)]

  I threw a couple boxes in the tumbler, I checked them 1 hour later and they were sparkling. I wish my brass polished that fast.
