    One thing is, walnut makes a good bit of dust. Used dryer sheet will keep the dust down.

    I am fine if my brass is not better than new shiny, so corn cob is the simpliest and easiest

    I've been using straight corn cob media for a long time now and always had good results. I never had any brass junked up enough to use walnut hulls.

    Before you buy off Ebay, check out prices from different vendors. I got a 50lb bag from Grainger's for less than it would of cost from other places.

    I use the 20/40 size of cut. It's fairly small and doesn't get caught in the flash holes. I got some buckets and dumped the bag right into them, pop on a lid and scoop it out when I need more.

    Lance,

    You can buy 50 pounds of corn cob from farm stores. Or by 50 pounds of walnut from paint supply houses. Either one works to keep the brass clean. If something gets stuck in the primer hole, it will be knocked out when you size the brass. I don't care if my brass is shiny, only clean. Some of the polishing compounds make a mess of your tumbler.
