    How long does your tumbling media last ?

    Just curious, nothing scientific

    I have used the same Lyman Corn Cobb Media for two years now. have polished 100's of .308, .270 & 7mm RM cases with it. Still polishes okay, just takes a bit longer than it used to.

    Have got a new batch of Hornady walnut media & One Shot polish additive to replace it with. May end up running both: use the older stuff for cleaning off the lube after sizing and the new stuff for making it nice and shiny!

    My Walnut media and rouge has been in the tumbler for over two years now and still going strong after of thousands of cases, some very dirty and tarnished.

    Don't really know how long it's going to last.

    Cheers
    Pete

    I had walnut rouge and now Lyman treated cob
    The cob has done prob 200k cases and is still sweet where the rouge lasted about 10k before getting shitty and dusty.
