[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3590736, member: 23"] I used to wet tumble with pins. The brass turned out really clean, but it created other problems. Separating the pins from the brass. Even if I used a big magnet there were always pins I had to remove one by one. I stopped pin tumbling rifle brass because I started finding pins that had been left behind after I thought I had them all out. Brass was too clean. I started having problems with the brass sticking to the case mouth expander/powder die on my Dillon 650. After reading a few articles and talking to Dillon, I found that the brass was too clean and removing the lubricity (sp?) of the brass was causing it to stick. I was told I had to take an extra step to lube the insides of the case necks. Drying the brass. After cleaning, I would boil some water and rinse the brass then pour it out to let it air dry. This seem to work. Now I still wet tumble after Decapping the brass without pins. I use a Frankford Armory rotary tumbler with a couple of small squirts of Dawn dish soap and 1 9mm case full of lemishine. After tumbling I rinse with hot tap water, shake the brass to get the majority of the water out and then throw it all in a media tumbler. It still comes out clean and dry and now loads without sticking. [/QUOTE]
