[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1886051, member: 75397"] I like SS pin cleaning, you have a setup for life that you pretty much don’t need to keep buying special supplies for. Yes it takes everything off but as someone else said, don’t tumble too long. I started out using a drill and 0000 steel wool, but that made a mess with really fine strands of steel everywhere and it was time consuming. So I have been using the SS tumbler, wash everything out with hot water to get the detergent and SS pins out, either let it set case mouth down or go straight to annealing(I anneal every time) and use the heat to burn the water off to dry them, put them in a ziplock and spray a homemade lanolin case lube on them, hand tumble and so on. I do get a little case mouth dings but when use my 3-1 case trimmer/debur/chamfer you can’t tell anymore. I think I may try putting some bullets in the case lube bag and hand tumble, let them sit for a bit and load.....I think it might work pretty good, never heard of anyone trying that so somebody might as well try it🤷🏻♂️.
