I'm getting ready to load for many of my rifles and handguns and am trying to get up to speed on the new loading products.
Thanks
I posted this discovery on another posting about what I found and it just seems to be the color the walnut hulls come out after being crushed up. I don't feel that the color is added for I have used it as garage spill media after it gets dirty, as I do my corn cob stuff, when changing oil on the Harleys and it never leaves the red color behind on a painted floor.
I have used it several times on various calibers and it seems to work real well on somewhat dirty brass. I don't use an additive with it though. When I plan on doing some really dirty range pick up brass after we have a training day, I use corn cob with some Frankford Arsenal brass tumbler additive. Smells like oranges. Works OK.
I found that crushed walnut hull stuff that RR was speaking of for about $11 for a 15-17lb bag at out local Pets Smart store under that same name and use.
