I have used crushed walnut shells for years and it cleans quite well. When the media started to get a little sluggish in cleaning I used to put in about a tablespoon or so of liquid silver polish to reactivate it. I cleaned hundreds of rifle casings with it. I ended up buying the Lyman media a while back, and it has an additive to clean shells quicker. It was fairly inexspensive...about $12 for a large container of it.
One word of advise. Visually check each shell casing once clean and make sure the primer flash hole didn't have any media in it. You would be surprised how many shells had a piece of the media in the flash hole.....it could cause a misfire if left in.
Hope that helps.
I will have to check the pet stores for crushed walnut when I run out...thanks for the tip
