Frankford Arsenal 18 Lbs. Walnut Brass Cleaning Media

Frankford Arsenal walnut brass cleaning media is the foundation of clean reloads and long equipment life. Tumbling cases before sizing and loading removes the dirt, carbon, and scale that accumulate on fired brass—the result of firing, handling, and storage. That grime isn't just cosmetic; it embeds itself into sizing dies and accelerates wear on chamber walls and feeding systems. A tumbler loaded with quality walnut media does the hard work for you, returning your brass to like-new condition without the time and mess of hand cleaning.

Walnut media works by gentle abrasion, cutting through buildup faster and more aggressively than corn—though if you prefer a finer polish over deep cleaning, corn is the choice. The 18-pound supply arrives in a reusable plastic container, giving you enough capacity to handle regular tumbling cycles for handloaders who process brass in batches. For anyone serious about ammunition assembly, a dedicated tumbler and fresh media are non-negotiable; dirty brass shortens die life, fouls your reloading press, and introduces variables that have no place in precision handloading.

Load cleaner brass, extend your die life, and protect your rifle or handgun's chamber. Frankford Arsenal's walnut media is the economical, proven choice for reloaders who want consistency without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between walnut and corn cleaning media?

Walnut media cleans more aggressively and cuts through heavy carbon and scale faster than corn. Corn is finer and works well for polishing. If your fired brass is heavily fouled, walnut does the job more efficiently; if you want a high shine on already-clean brass, corn is gentler.

Will this fit my brass tumbler?

This is cleaning media designed for use in a reloading tumbler. Confirm your tumbler's capacity against the 18-pound volume before purchasing; different tumbler models have different working capacities.

How long does 18 pounds of media last?

Media lifespan depends on how often you reload and how dirty your brass is. Over time, media breaks down and collects debris; you'll eventually need to replace it. The 18-pound supply is intended for regular reloaders who process cases in batches.

Do I need to clean the media after tumbling?

After tumbling, brass and media will be mixed together. You'll need to separate them using a sifter or similar equipment before the next batch. The media itself can be reused until it becomes too fine or overly contaminated to clean effectively.
