I've got something even better than $30 for 5# cleaning media.
I performed this just this morning after reading this thread before breakfast. Here are the steps that I took.
1) Extra fine corn cob media in Thumblers Tumbler. - <span style="font-weight: bold">$4 for 15#</span>
2) 2 oz. of Flitz Tumbler Media Additive - <span style="font-weight: bold">$6 a bottle (lasts me a year)</span>
3) 45 minutes in the tumbler with 1/3 of a drier sheet cut up into @ 1" squares.
This was brass that an Ammo Handler at Ft. Bragg sent me a couple of weeks ago. If you know military range brass from a M249 ... you know dirty.
Think I'll stick with my recipe. It's a heck of a lot easier and cheaper. Work smart ... not hard. I think I'll stick with the corn cob and Flitz Media Additive. All SS media is doing is reinventing the wheel. Also, I don't have any wet cases to dry out like those of you who use water and LemiShine.

Insides and primer pockets clean? </div></div>
I have been tumbling with either corn cob or walnut hulls forever, and I can tell you if you tumble with the primers in the out the inside of the case is not clean, outside yes, inside no. If you decap, the pocket is clean but you have to inspect every flash hole and knock out the stuck media, and the inside of the case still isn't clean. Im anxious to try it, hope it's it not too cumbersome!
