I think that they would work fine, but do have one question. Don't Pecan hulls have a lot of oil in them? If so that might make a difference. I do know that some nut hulls have a good amount of oil, not sure of pecan hulls.
Isn't it a little harder to find Pecan hulls then Walnut? I know I have never seen them listed anywhere. They would not be as hard as Walnut hulls either.

I thought of that just after I had posted. It might be just want you need as a polish. I used to use Walnut with the red stuff in it, but it was so messy that I have gone to cob and am much happier with it. Not as bright as the red stuff but good enough to shoot. I clean mine shortly after firing and don't let them set around much, so they clean fairly easily.
