    Porcelin tumbling media

    Has anyone tried this in a vibratory tumbler? or the "cat litter" or the "rice" any better than walnut / corn media?

    Tried rice (cheap) years ago. Went back to Lyman, more effective.

    Yeah @zimmer I think the rice would become dusty as well, loading for two TR rifles at present so the walnut media is getting dirty pretty quick. If I can find porcelin media on Ali I will get some.... suppossed to be gentler than the more abbbrasive ceramic. Which to my mind puts it up there wih SS pins..... doing more damage than good, beating up case mouths etc.
    Just ingterested to see what others have found.

    I see a few options on Amazon, round balls and cylindrical. No doubt Ali would be cheaper.
