[QUOTE="mrmax, post: 1885773, member: 85491"] I'm one of the first to use SS pins on cases. That goes back to the Mid 1980's. In the years that followed I won 5 US national rifle event set numerous national records and have one if not the most number of wins in NZ . Here are the facts . I use a Lortone 1.5 gallon rock tumbler their on the web and there is a rock shop that sell these here in NZ , these will last a life time . The SS media I use is the stuff I made 30 years ago .8 x 3 mm approx. The big issue is that the case need to be sized and de-primed first and the lube needs to be a water soluble and the only one that works for me is RCBS Lube 2 and I use a pad that RCBS sells , fantastic product. I tumble for 8 hours as that worked out when I left for work till I returned . In the US I used Ivory liquid dish washing . No NZ product does as good , after a lot of experimenting I settled on some ECOLAB concentrated Detergent , Solitaire these come in 5 pound jugs and las for years , I have several I can sell , let me know if you need some. The issue is most NZ Detergents do not have enough surfactants to keep the contaminants from re-sticking to the brass . One other thing that helps is have the deep fry basket and the tub you use ready as soon as you turn the tumbler off or the dirt will start to stick on the brass again !
