Tumblering Media

Does anyone have a good source for bulk tumberling media? My local reloading shop only offers 10Lb boxes. I have a lot of brass t clean probable close to 100,000 rounds if not more.

Corn cob media at $60 for 40lb shipped

Corn cob media at $60 for 40 lb shipped. Not sure what the cost is at your local shop.

The Amazon link is for Econoline. Econoline and Grainger used to be the cheapest for corn cob, when shipping was free. But they both now charge $24 shipping. Now the cheapest for the 40 pound bag of corn cob is Zoro Tools. Same price for media and only $5 shipping. Free if you order at least $50. link

I always hear about folks getting good prices on Lizard Litter at pet stores, but I have checked several over the years and their price has always been higher. The best price I can find on walnut blast media it at Harbor Freight.
