Media: Corn Cob vs. Walnut Hull
Quote from Reloader on February 24, 2011, 8:44 pmIs there a benefit to using one media over the other?
They are the same price so I can really apply the "you get what you pay for" analogy.
I saw in another post that corn cob lasts longer (more cases) than walnut hull.
I load .32, .38, .357, .9mm, .40S&W, .45, .222, .223, .308, 30-06 and a few others.
Is media one better for me than another?
Thanks-
Bill

Quote from Reloader on May 8, 2016, 3:40 pmI am getting ready to clean a large quantity of .222 Rem and .223 Rem brass. I was wondering if walnut media would be better than corn cob due to the small necks of the cases. Will walnut clean the inside of the cases better than the larger corn cob particles? Will walnut be less likely to get stuck inside the cases than corn cob? Thanks for any advice.
