[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1825888, member: 110896"] The Franlford Arsenal one. Bought mine at Scheels for around $200; maybe a bit less. The only problem I have with it is that .223 cases will get lodged between the separation grids. Not too many, just a few. Then I have to push them back in and keep shaking-out the pins. I capture the pins in a colander that just exactly fits a five-gallon bucket. I have an old piece of sheet completely covering the colander. The dirty water goes through and the pins stay above. I get 100% capture of the pins in just a few minutes. I spoon the pins back out with a big serving spoon; takes just a few minutes. In my feeble mind, wet-tumbling is the best way I've seen to clean brass since 1983, when I started making dirty brass. I really, really like how the pins get in there and get the primer pocket sparklin' clean. The pins get everywhere, so I suspect the inside of the case is also clean. And they look like little sticks of gold when they come out. Very satisfying... [/QUOTE]
