    I have a RCBS Sidewinder Tumbler. I bought some fine walnut media from Harbour Freight, and a bottle of Nu Finish. I was wondering what combination to use in the tumbler. Straight up Nu Finish, or should I add any water? Thx in advance for help.

    You shouldn't need more than a tablespoon of any sort of polish. And no, don't put water in your media.

    Try the media and bit of Nu Finish.
    That tumbler will probably work better with Dawn dish soap and water, though. Maybe add a tablespoon of Lemi-Shine for dingy cases.

    When I add any polish or additive to my media I run the tumbler for 10-15 minutes to mix it in so you won't have clumps then add the brass.

    Good advice... I learned that the hard way back when I got started. I had to dig clumps out of .223 brass and that totally sucked!
