Walnut works faster but I think corn cob get's them shinier. I use a 50/50 mix and it works great.

Olsen's Media...Finely ground corncob with chromium oxide. Does an excellent job and will not stick in flash holes.

About 15 years ago, someone gave me a lifetime supply of ground corncob. I don't mix anything with it, and I'm satisfied with the results.

The last time I ordered some from him it cost me $3.00 + shipping for 2 lbs. Stuff's not the cheapest in town, but I like it better then plain ol' corncob. walnut. kitty litter or iguana litter.

I have always used walnut shells with midway/frankford arsenal brass polish.

Corncob, both fine ground media, and thicker bird bedding (only for larger cases). Usually with some frankford arsenal brass polish, or with a little bit of valve compound.

Valve compound? You mean Lapping compound?

Walnut hulls..$15 for a 25 pound bag
Corn Cob.......$15 for a 15 pound bag
Both are untreated so, you can add your desired adatives.

My brother suggested plain white rice. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would work okay. Anyone tried it?

tomhorn, I use a 50/50 mix of walnut and corn cob. Since I have been adding a cap full of Nu-finish and a replacing a used dryer sheet (cut into 12 pieces) with every batch of brass I don't see a need to replace the media yet and so far I have run about 10,000 rounds through it, some with case lube. I swear the dryer is cleaning the media removing the dust. I started using the Nu-finish and dryer sheet about a couple months ago when I came across it on a thread here on some old media I was about to change. Now after two months the media looks new and it is cleaning the cases within 1-1/2 hours to the point where they look new. The Nu-finish and dryer sheet has been the best advice I have received

Walnut shell media sprayed with non-ammonia Glass Plus window cleaner. One hour of tumbling and you have clean brass.

I like my brass shinny, but I won't go to that length to get it. If it won't shine up and it looks real shabby...Trash. Otherwise it gets the regular treatment and stored...
