[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2389565, member: 116181"] Do you have any firsthand experience with the SS pin wet tumbling process, or are you setting up straw men to argue against? There's no greater risk in SS pin tumbling than any other type of media tumbling as long as you follow safe loading practices. It's not hard to separate brass and media - I use the same process no matter if I'm getting cases out of corn cob or walnut or rice or wet SS pins. I dump the cases and media in a separator, I shake them, the media separates. If the brass is wet it gets dried and I'll shake them again. I don't use the same exact separator for wet versus dry media: I use a Lyman dual sifter for pins and a FA separator for dry media. FA has sifter caps for their rotary tumbler so 95%+ of the water is out before dumping into the sifter. [MEDIA=amazon]B01EIFV6GY[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=amazon]B004J4F09O[/MEDIA] Do you not look inside your brass while prepping it? All it takes is a flashlight when they're in the loading block before charging to notice things like an SS pin or corncob stuck in the bottom. [/QUOTE]
