Hello everyone, a farmer friend of mine ordered excess corn media for this season and was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying it. I'll run a bunch of tests to see if it's actually any good for tumbling, but if it works, it'd be about a dollar per pound. The cheapest I could find for not crappy media was about $1.67.
Let me know if anyone would be interested in this! Thanks!

Re: Cheap corn media
Make dang sure it doesnt get stuck in the primer holes! small pistol, L pistol, s rifle, L rifle, Magnums. If that stuff gets stuck in the holes its a nightmare to fix each piece of brass. You need to tumble the brass to find out.

Re: Cheap corn media
I use stainless steel pins now and never have problems with flash holes. However when I did use the media I used to buy it at the gun shows case you could get about a pillowcase full for $8 it does do a nice job though like you say you just have to go through and pick the primer pockets.

Re: Cheap corn media
Just tumble it with the primers still in. Problem solved.

Re: Cheap corn media
Hey everyone! I washed an extremely dirty batch of range brass and was pretty pleased with the results. (Not all of the casings came clean, but that's to be expected with corn. It was no better or worse than other corn medias.)
If you want some it's $1 per pound, just kinda doing an experiment over here. I can sell you basically whatever quantity you want. Let me know your thoughts!
-thanks
