How well does Cracked Corn from a Pet Store work on Pistol Brass?

    Dont know, try it and see.It seems like a viable media. Cheap dry rice works really good. If it works, let us know and we can get some. A feed store would be much cheaper though. 100 lbs. $9.00. (50 lbs. $4.50) I assume that you mean for tumbling?

    The problem may be getting it fine enough. Most stuff I've seen is course. Not large enough to keep from getting inside a 22 caliber case but large enough to be dificult to get out. If the place handles cracked corn it most likely has or can get corn cob or walnut (pet litter) of appropriate size.

    You're going to end up with a lot of dust as the corn disintegrates.

    RugerNiner I would recommend going with walnut shell or the rice. Rice works well and is cheaper but I have not convinced myself that it works as well as the walnut shell.
