walshie Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Most new tumblers come with a bag of media anyway (or mine did. ) it was walnut and works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old06 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've used them both and prefer walnut last longer finer finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mine came with Walnut media too. After using it many times, I added some Brasso to it. It seems to have cleaned them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks so far but brasso has ammonia in it that's bad from brass cases! I was going to add a little NU finish or melted autosol both ammonia free. Where are guys getting walnut I've heard pet stores!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rem708 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've been using Dillon Rapid Polish for years and my media (walnut) is still going strong. You only need to put a thimble full in once in a while just to keep it fresh between thousands of cases. I do, however, clean cases with a liquid cleaner to remove the case lube. This also helps to keep the primer pockets clean which both tumber and vibrators don't do very well. This gets the contaminates off before the final polish in the tumbler.
