[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 1045717, member: 69989"] Not to high jack, but has anyone tried the small granules of polishing additive that you add to corncob/walnut media? I picked some up, and am going to give it a go once it arrives. From what I can tell, it looks like small grains of wax type material, friction much cause it to break down? I'm not sure how it will work, but I can't imagine for ten bucks its that awful. Instructions look like you need to add a teaspoon or so to it. Back to topic, I generally just tumble until clean. If I'm making 300 black brass, I cut dirty mil spec brass, tumble some to initially clean and get some of the brass trimmings out, form, trim to length, tumble until clean and polished. 9mm brass? Just tumble til clean. Straight walled cases always clean up better inside. Biggest thing is to ensure that when the media gets dirty, chuck it. Media is cheap. Check eBay, you can find it dirt cheap, works well enough. Tumblers can be a bit more expensive. Less stress on them is always good, right? Just my thoughts.. Make it shiney, load it, shoot it, repeat. [/QUOTE]
