[QUOTE="oknavy, post: 938630, member: 5713"] As stated, both work...you only need one type of media. However, many use walnut for the first tumble to remove the crap from the case, then use corn cob for a longer tumble to polish the brass. My experience confirms that; walnut is better for the first tumble, and corn cob is better for polishing. If loading rifle cases, you need to tumble the case before lube and sizing, then tumble again to remove the lube (and maybe polish the brass). This is where the use of both walnut and corn cob seems to make more sense. With carbide pistol dies, you only need to tumble long enough to knock the crap off prior to resizing. Any more tumbling with additional media (to polish the brass) is because you WANT to, not because you NEED to. [/QUOTE]
