It seems as though Walnut is available in many places. Are there local sources for Corncob so it could be carried out instead of paying shipping from Grainger? Is it used for pet bedding?
Thanks

If you have it shipped to your local Graingers and pick it up yourself their is no shipping. Google Graingers Industrial Supply to find where you local one is at.
Hope this helps

One of my favorite posts was a while back, when a member said that he got into casting to cut down on his shooting costs.
Now his casting operation (addiction), is a monthly budget item.
Thanks for the advice on the shipping, I will do just that.
75% CC, 25% walnut. Works really well. Bob
I have found that the corncob in the 1420 grit is the cats meow. I use turtle wax rubbing compound (rouge in a base) on the cob, after mixing it with some cob in a zip lock baggie. I have found that the 1420 size does not seem to plug primer pockets as much as the 1014 size that lyman uses. I just wish that I could have bought the cob in a 5 gallon package instead of the 50lb size, kindly sad to have 3 , 5 gallon buckets sitting in the reloading room. I have also found that it is to my advantage to soak the brass in a vinegar solution prior to polishing as it tend to load up the cob slower; I do dry the brass prior to putting into the polisher.
God bless America
If you can find it, the 2040 grit is the cats meow. Small enough that it flows through the flash hole.

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought, "what's up with this, you use what you use, who cares". However, I cannot believe the amount of interest and information that has been gleaned fron this simple question.
Thanks for asking.
Okmile, you're a genius.
I was reading your post and chuckling and then realized I had a few hundred pounds of rice I can't eat. I was saving it for the end of the world but then I got diabetes...(Ms Nap claims it's justice because I used to hunt possums with a golf club...2 iron)
Anyway, I can't eat rice anymore or the end of the world will come a little faster....I think I'll try some to polish cases so when the EOW finally gets here, I'll have plenty of ammo to take diabetic food from other people
