Thread: Auckland Where to buy Ground Walnut shells

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a good place to buy the ground walnut shells for reloading in AKL?

Cheers
Brad

preferably North Shore / Albany ways

Any sandblasters up there? I got mine from Econoclean but I got the last he had. They're expensive to buy, unless like mine they were free

Or maybe a motor reconditioner, or engineering supplier

oh ok cheers for that. Will go for a drive and see what I can find. I don't even know the going rate for crushed wall nut shell. Might have to learn the hard way. I find the Corn Cob stuff does ok but not really clean.

Can you not make your own?...there is a shitload of walnuts on the ground at the moment.

Sometimes pet shops have ground walnut as cage litter for reptiles.

Heaps cheaper than Gun shops too.

I've tried a number of products... 99% are shite.
Lyman treated cob - green stuff.
Lasts 10x longer than anything and no dust.
The worst was some stuff from pet shop. Filled up and got stuck in every case. Total bitch

I use walnut and a little auto solve in a milk power tin with a plastic top in the lathe at slow rpm and get an awesome result

Got my last sack (25kg from memory) from here. Got the medium size shell.

I use rice, cleans the brass up nice but doesn't polish as much as I'd like, trying to find some fine walnut now to get a better finish.

Nice cheers for the tips guys
