They both work. I use whatever I find cheapest. BTW, I do not use any additives- just the walnut hulls or corncob.
Eventually, whatever you're using, the batch in the tumbler wears out. Throw it out and put in some new - you'll discover the time it takes to clean your brass goes down quite a bit.

I do not use cob of corn anymore, it does not last. I started buying crushed Pecan hulls from shellers. It works pretty good, we do not have many Walnut trees in NW FL. I am cheap or should I say thrifty

It depends what you prefer

I have used walnut media for decades and really like it. A few hours in the tumbler cleans up most cases. all the best...

Thanks to All for helpful input. I got a jug or green corncob media at the local gun shop. After deer season, I will clean many cases.

Dom,

Good to hear from you. Where do I get stainless steel pins? Ich habe es nicht gesehen!

Freuliche Weichnachten.

Adam
