[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5404135, member: 20060"] I thought I posted my method before but a quick search couldn't find it, so here it is. First, I decap the brass with a universal decap die, so the pockets can get cleaned out, and taking the crimp out later isn't as messy. [IMG width="250px"]https://i.imgur.com/aj2R7of.jpg[/IMG] I then tumble for one hour in warm water with 1/4" tbs citric acid (lemishine) and a tbs of dawn. It takes all the crud out. I first used pins, but got some chips because I had one get stuck in the neck. Hope the chips will take care of that, we will see, as I haven't used them yet. [IMG width="368px"]https://i.imgur.com/phD4w4u.jpg[/IMG] [IMG width="367px"]https://i.imgur.com/6Ng83vd.jpg[/IMG] [IMG width="368px"]https://i.imgur.com/Efdf3aN.jpg[/IMG] After I tumble, I pour most of the water out into the sink as seen above. Then I pour the entire contents into my media separator and spin it in a slow methodical method which gets all the pins to drop down into the bottom. [IMG width="368px"]https://i.imgur.com/QMqwwBJ.jpg[/IMG] After that, I pour out as much water out of the bottom of the separator then use the magnet to take them out and place them back in the tumbler for another batch. [IMG width="369px"]https://i.imgur.com/4FYllxG.jpg[/IMG] [IMG width="368px"]https://i.imgur.com/Kya9Cnf.jpg[/IMG] After I separate the brass and the pins, I spread the brass out onto an old towel and allow them to air dry. [IMG width="367px"]https://i.imgur.com/8zfa1lD.jpg[/IMG] After they dry out, I stored them in boxes or bags depending on the number in that batch (I separate headstamps). But now I found some plastic ammo boxes in the tool area of Walmart so use them now.
