[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3324033, member: 15054"] As you know I like to build things.. especially if I have stuff laying around. I had a lot of stranded THHN wire some was 2-0 some #4 some was #2 some was smaller . But I had it and I had some wire cutters. I heard of the stainless pins and heard some of them would get stuck in primer pockets. or in the case sideways. Well I figured I would take these short not good for much pieces of wire and cut them very small. It took me a couple hours sitting on the garage floor snipping away before I had a couple cups worth of different diameter and length copper pins. I used to tumble for 2-3 hours and added too much lemi shine. I cut the tumble time down to 45 minutes to 1.5 hours and less than 1/16 or a teaspoon lemishing to a 2 quart jug 1/2 filled with cases and some copper pins. Few drops of dawn or automotive wash and shine.

That was 7 years ago ..I have changed the process a bit. I also rinse it all 5 times.. As with the peroxide vinegar solution to remove lead this solution of citric acid and dirty cases is also harmful. keep it off your hands. Not as bad as the lead remover but it can still have lead in the solution. And it will dry the skin out. [/QUOTE]
