It runs through my Ruger MK II like fat through a goose, but my neighbors Walther PPk will start misfeeding after 3-4 rounds if they are dipped too deep.

Several brands of factory ammo use those plastic trays with holes in them in their boxes and I occasionally do the same trick to FMJ in other calibers.

I also use thinned out LLA to tumble lube the pre-lubed cast boolits I reload with.

Back on topic.

I've tumbled loaded ammo in the past, but these days I just make the brass shiny and slick so it loads easy.
