    Be careful buying cheap SS media. I did this quite a while ago and still find the odd rusty cluster every now and then. I know it is expensive, but I would get mine from Mark (Spud1967) as at least you know it will be the same size and actually SS not some workshop floor sweepings.

    I buy my walnut media from a pet supply store online ( used for reptiles it's high grade and clean)
    Been using it for years and works well every time. The initial quantity is high although much cheaper and we split it at the gun club.

    Do what I do......
    Put media in pillow case and tie securely with a double knot and bung in washer.
    I dry it at work in spray booth but have done in past in tumble dryer....just make sure the knot is secure lol
