[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1720602, member: 7539"] Rotary seperator while you're running water over/through it and letting the pins fall into a bucket and the water just overflow into the drain is the ONLY way to go for any kind of volume. The pins tend to stick with the moisture on/in the cases and so spraying water into the basket of the rotary helps to get them out. Those pesky pins are so small that you're bound to lose some of them at one time or another but I don't sweat that, just keep on keepin' on. Ps. The pins like you get from STM are cut wire so they have pretty jagged ends (look at them with a loupe) and thats why they clean so effectively.

IMHO it's worth the $35 or so to save tons of time and lost pins. Pps. I've seen people build little heading units in an ammo can where they put a light bulb under a mesh and then let the moist brass warm up to remove all moisture afterwards too... I've been meaning to give it a try, looks like it would work well. [/QUOTE]
