I have heard of people mixing them before. They say thay don't do ether job well.
 
I accidently mixed the two one time & just went with it. Worked just fine. Used it for months.
 
That is really big corncob, 20/40 is a much better size. Grainger has the same look/link as the site above

Honestly, I'm going to go try one grit higher on the corncob because while the 20/40 works well it does eventually stick as it wears. Mixing them would be like sanding with 80 and 400 at the same time, it will create something but not what you really want.
 
I would not put any bottleneck brass in that media!

I mix all my old media and use it for really dirty brass. Knock the dirt off w/ the dirty media, then swap media to clean / pollish.
 
Put it in a thick trash bag, lay it on the driveway and run over it a few dozen times. If that doesn't work, it's aleady in a trash bag...:)
 
I use a roughly 50/50 mix of lizard litter (walnut) and corn cob media I bought from Midway when I got my tumbler. here is a picture to see the size I'm using. It works great by the way.

If it isn't obvious -lol- corn on right, walnut on left.
 
I'm using the Kaytee corn cob from petsmart because they were out of anything smaller. it works, but don't put bottleneck cases .30 or smaller, and leave the primers in. It'll get stuck otherwise.
 
Just use the lizard litter.

You don't even need corn cob unless you want your cases so shiny you have to wear sunglasses.

Walnut cleans.
Corn cob polishes.

Mixed together, neither one does what it does as well.

Grainger sells the same stuff, Econoline brand, but Drillspot sells it for a little less money AND it's delivered. Grainger is more expensive, and you also have to pay shipping. Plus Grainger does not sell to individuals but business accounts only so some folks can't buy from them anyway.
