[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1885158, member: 85874"] I personally fail to see any benefit to SS pin tumbling except looks. Lets see you tumble for 1-2 hrs, separate the pins from brass then you rinse twice then you have to clean up the pins and tumbler. Now you have to dry your brass in a dryer or spread it out in the sun. Now I can see a person using range brass for pistol competition or maybe a person selling once fired brass. But for precision rifle shooting I see lots of problems as has been stated in this forum many times. And water and brass just don't seem right. Just last week I read that someone didn't get every case completely dry and had miss fires and hang fires. I certainly don't want my precision brass that I have carefully prepped tumbling around in a tumbler with SS pins which are much harder than the brass peening the heck out of it. Once I get brass stable with the right amount of carbon in the neck I don't want to disturb it. I would think that if there was a benefit to SS pin tumbling the accuracy nuts among us would all be using it and they are not. [/QUOTE]
