Recycle polishing media
I don't have any firsthand experience with kitty litter, but the thought crossed my mind as well. Seems I read some recommendation AGAINST using it, somewhere.
But here's something you CAN do: you can wash and reuse your old media (corncob or walnut hulls). Just mix it up with some water and dish soap; swish it around as much as necessary to get it clean; rinse well; and pour it out onto a cookie sheet to dry. Kinda messy, but saves money.In God We Trust.

I think the kitty litter is just mostly dried clay……… I suspect it would eventually just turn into powdered dirt.“You’ve gotten soft. You’re like one of those police dogs who’s released in to the wild and gets eaten by a deer or something.” Bill McNeal of News Radio

I spent $28 last year polishing cases with case polishing media (ground corn cobs), I polished 200,000 cases. I don't see this as a major expense. Buy the gallon jug of media and use it up, throw it away and buy another jug. Support the industry you love.:rolleyes:Is there nothing so sacred on this earth that you aren't willing to kill or die for?

Never used cat litter but cracked corn from the feed store works like walnut but don't last as long. Cracked corn (not rolled corn, it’s softer) should run around $18 for a 50 pound bag in Alaska.

Kitty litter not worth crap!
I have tried, the cheapest one in the red bag at wally world, after only a few minutes the cases were covered with a tacky clay coating, very thin but a real pain to wipe off! I have since discovered a new method, 1 quart of hot water, 2 cups white vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish soap, I place it in one of the new plastic large coffee "cans" put the brass in, pop lid on and gently shake it for 1 minute, let it sit 5 minutes shake it again for 1 minute, remove cases, rinse well in fresh water, spread them out on a towel to dry for a day or 2!
Solution can be stored right in the plastic coffee can and reused many times! Gets brass as clean as i'll ever need it, and doesn't even use any electricity
If you are set on tumbling your brass, I have a buddy that has always used dry rice as his media and it works great! and seems to really last!
