I use corn cob media with brass case polish I get at Cabelas. Works great. Does not harm the Brass. What more would you need?

Wow, has this thread drifted. Anyway, I use Nu-Finish. Available off the shelf at any awful zone.

what do people think about phosphoric acid as an add for polishing?

harbor freight has 25lb bags of polishing media, plan on using that when my walnut runs out here in a couple weeks or so.

I do want to try the SS pins though when I get the extra $$. I've got an old drill laying around that's deadlined but the motor is still good; may make my own rotary tumbler and just buy the SS pin media to save some bucks.
