StonecreekI haven't tried it, but I assume that tumbling in ordinary case tumbling media would do the trick?

AZ PeteYes, tumble them. You can add some of your favorite polish to speed the process. I like Mequire's Cleaner-polish. It is at the auto store.

shootawayI tried tumbling a few in a my large tumbler but I found it taking too long.So, I took each bullet out and applied polishing liquid by hand to each one individually.I also used a paper towel to work off the moly and polish.Then I put them back in the tumbler for a few minutes to finish them off.I removed the molly because the ceramic media I used to moly-coat with was contaminated(fell on the floor)and all my bullets had a rough coating.I reloaded them anyways but know changed my mind about shooting them because I am scared to damage the bore.

seafire/B17GI load them up and then toss them in the tumbler over night with walnut media...
in the morning when I get up, they are just fine...
I ended up with several boxes of varmint bullets for cheap that had been moly coated at the factory, but didn't sell well.. so they off loaded them.....
