magnet? hmmm wonder what ss media they use thats magnetic? must be a 400 series.
i will look into that
i got the lyman cyclone kit with the 2 trays, one that stops brass, one that catches the pins
I used the pins about twice, not worth the effort to pick them out. My brass is still shiny clean without the pins and hassle. If you have to have the inside of your brass super clean then the pins do help but for cleaning the outside no need to hassle with the pins. Give it a try without pins.
I am not using chips yet, but a good friend and shooting buddy does. I will, in the near future be replacing my pins with the chips based on his results. They do a better job on primer pockets and seem to come out of the cases easier. I only tumble with SS when my cases are getting pretty grungy, other wise I just clean with a rag and mineral spirits or alcohol.
Built my own tumbler from an old kids toy car motor, computer power supply, pvc pipe and wood. I think it cost about $10. Works great and can clean a few hundred at a time. I use a salad strainer to separate the pins then a magnet. Just got in a Cyclone drier and an Annealeeze on order. So, if anyone wants to send me their once fired brass.... Might look into the chips, but the pins work fine for now.
65newloader, I would very much like to have more info on your home brew tumbler. I am in the process of building one and could use some good ideas. A few pics perhaps? My current concern is the motor size/speed needed for a medium sized batch of brass (100 to 200).
