Pistachio case cleaner media?

[ultralightbackpacker]

I was just eating a bunch of pistachio today and had a lame idea . Why not use Pistachio shells for cleaning media? I mean seriously? If they are clean and no residue of salt, why not?

Anyone tried it?

Other then grinding them down to a usable size I can't think of any reason why they would not work.

Think salt residue unless washed and rinsed throughly. Not a good idea.

I think there gets to be a point where saving a few cents gets to be ridiculous. Ground corn cob shipped to your door for less than $25.00 for a 40 # bag will last the avg. reloader a heck of a long time. And no worry about salt or attempting to grind it up.

Google drillspot.com and search for blasting media.

cleaned of salt, they might just work, ultra. one thing's for sure...they wouldn't get stuck in primer pockets!
