Default sand blasting

I'm currently sand blasting the frame of my ls6 with an abrasive called black magnum.It seems to me that it goes through the blaster rather quickly.I've used close to 20 50lb bags already,is this a normal amount? My blaster is a 40lb pressurized unit that works great,but I'm always refilling it.

HI IT DEPENDS A LOT ON AIR PRESURE AND HOW RUSTY THE FRAME IS

Also depends on nozzle size...

I had the frame on my 69 done with Black Beauty. Same stuff. IT works GREAT.... anyway, the man had a 20 x 40 garage converted to do just sand blasting with this stuff. he must have had a ton of it on the floor... So, yeah it takes loads of this stuff. All it is, is coal slag.
