For dry tumbling I get great results with 25/52 grade ground walnut shells, treated with a 1:1 mix of Auto Glym metal polish and white spirit.

You can find it on eBay as reptile substrate for about £50 per 25Kg sack or if you can find an abrasives distributor it can be had for much less (£30 per sack last time I ordered 250 Kg). Be sure to get the correct grade - 25/52 doesn't block large rifle flash holes, I think it's ok for small too.
