If you ever wanted to know about corn cob grit sized for tumbling.

If you ever wanted to know about corn cob grit sized for tumbling.

I happened upon this web site and it is really good at explaining grit sizes and the best grit (1014) for use in tumblers that clean brass casings.
Green Products Company - Grit Products

On this link they lay out the different grit sizes in language I could understand.

And if you want a free sample use this link.
Green Products Company - Sample Request

Now how about that!

I used to use it, until I realized I was paying something like $13 for about 5 or 6 lbs. Not anymore.

I bought a 50# bag of grade 1420 from Grainger's a few weeks ago for $25. It seems to work really well.

I use ground walnut shells purchased from Walmart - 5.88 for 7 lbs I believe. They sell it for bird cage litter.
