I used rice for years. No muss, no fuss straight from the bag into the Thumbler Tumbler.

I tried rice of different sizes, never cared for it. Seemed to get stuck in the case
more often than not.
Just stuck with corn cob, walnut or both. Works..

I tried the whole kernel rice the other day, it did a good job, but weird seating graph on the amp.
it showed lower seating pressure by 20lbs, and the ES was greater. got stuck in the 223, had to look at each one and still missed some. Thats when i went looking for smaller stuff.
probably shelf that experiment until i start loading a larger caliber. as a side experiment, I flitzed the inside of one case just to see what a smooth polish would do, thinking the rice did that over the walnut.
it was 15lb less seating pressure.

My thought is, if it's getting stuck it's not cleaning evenly.
What ever you use, stick to it. You want consistent results. (seating pressure)
Or let your target tell you.
