Frankford Treated Corn Media 4.5lb - Premium Brass Cleaning Solution

The Frankford Treated Corn Media 4.5lb package is a practical brass cleaning media designed for reloaders who want polished, bright cases without the mess of wet cleaning. Unlike walnut media, corn cob media offers built-in brass polish—meaning your cases come out of the tumbler not just clean, but with a subtle shine. It's an economical choice for handloaders who run batches regularly and want a dry, dustless alternative to other media types.

Brass cleaning isn't just about cosmetics. Untreated cases carry dirt, carbon, and grime into your sizing dies with every stroke, gradually scratching and marring the die's inner surfaces. That same embedded residue accelerates wear in your rifle or handgun's chamber and feeding system. Running your brass through treated corn media before reloading extends the life of your most expensive reloading investment—your dies—and protects the firearm itself. A 4.5lb batch will handle multiple cleaning cycles depending on your case volume.

Frankford Arsenal's treated formulation strikes a balance: corn media polishes better than walnut, so you get both cleaning and a finished look in one step. It's a straightforward, no-fuss addition to your brass prep workflow, whether you're prepping .223, 9mm, or magnum rifle brass. Load after load, clean brass means cleaner dies, less wear, and more consistent ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does corn cob media compare to walnut media for cleaning brass?

Corn cob media polishes better than walnut, while walnut cleans better than corn. This treated corn product includes brass polish, so you get both a clean case and a polished finish in one step—ideal if you want cases to look bright when you're done.

Will this media damage my reloading dies?

No—in fact, using clean brass protects your dies. Grit and grime from uncleaned brass become embedded in the inner surfaces of sizing dies, scratching and marring them over time. Cleaning your brass with media removes that contaminant before it reaches your dies.

This treated corn media works with any rifle or pistol brass—.223, 9mm, .308, magnum rounds, and more. It's a general-purpose dry cleaning solution for any reloader's brass prep.

How many batches of brass will 4.5 pounds of media clean?

The number of cleaning cycles depends on your tumbler size and how many cases you're processing per batch. A 4.5lb package is suitable for multiple cleaning runs; refer to your tumbler's capacity and media requirements for guidance on volume per cycle.
