Steve, What size pins do you use? I have seen a few sizes out there.
I saw a picture and they had smaller pins that were so small a pair of them fit in a primer hole and clogged it, had to be popped out by hand or a depriming die. I could see a large/medium size also getting logged in a primer hole if it was a tight fit..

I change my previous statement about time. 30 minutes works great for pistol brass that was previously ran through a vibratory. It took 2 hours to get my 5.56 range brass clean.

Almost my exact process. Maybe a hair more Lemishine and I use super hot water, won't hurt the brass and works faster. I think other than that we are twins. Well mine is black. I love hot shiny brass in the food dryer!

These have worked well for me, and I've never had a stuck pin either in a flash hole or in a case mouth.

Never once I have I had a pin get stuck or otherwise lodge in a case or primer hole. 20,000+ cases wet tumbled.
Chips? What are those??

I assume he's referring to the Southern Shine media. As far as I know they're only on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southernshinetumblers/Five pounds shipped for $23.50, so it's pretty cheap.

Chips? What are those?? I've done about that many and had probably a couple hundred pins stick in cases, necks or pockets. Not a lot, but it's still some. I just worry one will stick, I won't notice, and I shoot the thing! That's the same stuff, seen a couple different websites but that's definitely a great price

Thanks I may order some, but ordering from his facebook page looks crazy impossible. Are you supposed to call him?
Where else can you get them?

I just worry one will stick, I won't notice, and I shoot the thing! Is there a particular caliber that causes your pins to stick? Or all of them? What size pins do you use? I've tumbled a lot of calibers, and I've never had a stuck pin. Sometime soon here I'll be doing some 6.5 Carcano and 6.5 Jap, and the 6.5 calibers might have the best chance of a stuck 0.255" pin. We'll see.

No idea. Got the pins from Stainless Tumbling Media when this whole stainless tumbling thing was new. I bought my setup many, many ages ago. I've have a few pins get stuck in primer pockets of .223 and .308 brass. I think I've had a couple get stuck sideways in 6.5 or 6.8 cases If you don't have issues, I wouldn't change anything!
