hodge911 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi all I've just been given a new & unused frankford arsenal tumbler ...... As I have never used a tumbler before (I use an ultra sonic cleaner) I am wondering what the best media to use would be ? And where to get it from at a decent price ?

Harnser Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Crushed walnut shells or crushed corn cobs ,any reloading supplier will have it .put a little drop of brasso in the tumbler it will shine your brass up . When the Media gets dirty tie it up in an old pillow case and put it on a cool was in the washing machine . harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadorna Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't buy walnut from loading suppliers. Buy from pet suppliers. Sold for reptile substrate. Google Blue Lizard Reptiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 still clean your cases in ultrasonic cleaner first is my tip, it gets rid of a lot of the dirt that will quickly contaminate the medium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
