Looking for a new type case cleaning media
Some time ago I read about a new cleaning media that lasts very long time. It is a hard pellet sized media, not walnut or corn coob. It is sold in the Southern California area in 55 lb bags. Its a little expensive but does a great job on brass casings in a short period of time. Does anyone out there know how to find or contact this place??????

Sounds like you're talking about ceramic media. Do a search and you will come up with some outlets. Cabelas comes to mind.It aint cheap.
Rice works good too.0 -
If you don't put cases with sizing lube on them in your tumbler walnut will last for years . 0 -
Thanks,B17 found them on e-bay got a five pound bag will last a lift time 0 -
+1 on the walnut media. Anyone have a better method for cleaning sizing lube off cases? I use old dirty walnut media now. I've tried the liquid cocktail - vinegar, water, soap, lemon juice. But, I don't like waiting to dry the brass. Wiping down by hand is tedious in bulk. Would rice be better than walnut for removing lube? 0 -
I might have to give wheat or barley a try at only a couple bucks a bushel. [:D][:D][:D] 0 -
Go to your local pet store and buy crushed walnut shells in bulk!! They sell it for like $4-10 for sizes up to 25lbs. Use it until it turns to dust, throw the old out and fill with new!!! 0 -
We tried the pet store stuff [V] Is too corse for 223 brass. Plugs it up very bad [:(!]
Rice only works to give the brass a bright shine, it doesn't clean very good.0 -
