Fine walnut polishing medium??
« on: March 21, 2005, 06:46:15 PM »
As an experiment I bought some "Fine" walnut medium and used it to do a final polish on my brass. Didn't notice any differance but the stuff managed to get everwhere.
Thoughts on a final polish anyone?

In a vibrating case tumbler I use Lyman's "Tufnut"  Item no 7631396.  Crushed nutshell treaded with rough. Cleans and shine all metals to a high luster.......  (that's what the label says)

Seems to work great for me...........

I've tried the nutshell stuff of a couple brands, might be a little more shiny, but ground corn cob works good enough if treated and I buy it a lot cheaper.  sides that a bussiness 'bout 50 miles away handles a lot of the commercial corn cob, don't mind helpin' the locals. ;D   

If you really want a final posish use uncooked (not minute) rice.  Makes em shiny, but check each case cause it sometimes balls in the bottom.  I only used to do that when I shot BR in the State Games, just cause I wanted my ammo to look purdy. ;D
