[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 823937, member: 52763"] I clean cases before removing the primers. The decapping pin removes any cleaning media in the flash hole. However, I've never used those SS pins. I doubt those pins would punch out well decapping a primer. More'n likely something would get damaged I have an old A-R12 Thumler's Tumbler over 40 years old. Since I'm a bit on the frugal side, I can't see spending near $200 (Model B tumbler) plus another $50 for SS pins. Since the Model B is what they recommend using. If I want my cases to look extra good, I mix citric acid powder with water & soak my cases in it for 15 minutes or so. Citric acid does not etch copper or brass. It's considered passive. It's also very inexpensive. I've also read it makes brass more resistant to oxidizing, but I never had a problem with brass oxidizing before anyway. [/QUOTE]
