[QUOTE="dfrahm, post: 1825984, member: 55117"] I also have the large Franklin Arsenal with the stainless pins. Bot it at Scheel's. It is awesome. Recommendations - GET THE MAGNET, as the pins will be hard to see and you'll . . .. just get the magnet! Also get a 'sifter' and find a bucket. After tumbling, dump as much water out as possible, rinse several times, then with as little water as possible pour the contents of the tumbler into the sifter which is over the bucket. You have to mess with it a bunch but the pins fall into the bucket. Warning - pins can get stuck almost anywhere and you have to make SURE they are all out of all pieces of brass before reloading! Final warning - do not use too much Lemi Shine. I'm sure there are chemical properties of the water we use, but I had brass that turned color one time. Thought I had ruined it, but just the outer molecule or so turned from 'brass' that shines up to the new color. I now use a small pinch, like an 8th of a teaspoon maybe.
