[QUOTE="stirner, post: 2549197, member: 44287"] I bought the Lyman case tumbler and their pin separator ($35.95). I use about 3 quarts of hot water and add a tablespoon of Dawn and a teaspoon of lemi shine. Then tumble for 15-20 min. Any more time really dings up the case mouths. This is enough to effectively remove all of the case lube. I then put the separator in a sink, and dump all the contents into it. I then use the sink sprayer to remove most of the soapy water. While doing this, most of the pins will fall thru the separator into the screened base. then I close the drain on a smaller bathroom sink, dump the cases in it, and add cold water. Swish the cases round and separate the cases that are stuck together (45s will eat all other cases), and make sure they are clean. I then remove the cases from the water into a T shirt, that my loving wife has sewn the sleeves and neck closed. After bouncing the cases in there for a minute or two, I remove them and put them on another T shirt to dry. I use the magnet on my Sonic toothbrush to collect the pins from the sink and T shirt, and any others that may have fallen out on the way. I like this system as not only does it polish the brass, but it also removes the lube and cleans the primer pockets. [/QUOTE]
