They seem to make two grades - Walnut Grit (which looks coarser) and the finer Walnut sand. I'm guessing that the sand will be better to prevent flash hole clogging, but are Pet materials as well graded as media sold for polishing and finishing? I can't find a local shot blasting media supplier for walnut. Any thoughts? TIA.

That's precisely why I want to find bulk bedding or blasting media. The ProRep works out at £1.45 per Kg.

Very good price
I have also heard of folk using cat litter
EDIT: fresh unused stuff, though given some "once-fired reloads" that I was offered by a RFD up this way, I have my doubts
I guess that anything that is even very slightly abrasive would have some merits, but more so in some cases that others - depending on dust levels and staining, plus granule size relative to primer holes, etc.
Re: ProRep Walnut sand - has anyone used this for tumbling?
