[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3715361, member: 15054"] I do not have sticky issues with my pin cleaned cases vs walnut media. Maybe my tumble time and prep afterwards is the key or my copper pins. Think about brand spanking new Lapua cases or Remington cases no carbon in those and they shoot well. I do anneal after wet tumbling of my rifle cases and I brush the necks inside with a spinning nylon bore brush after annealing. Then they get lubed with Hornady unique case lube by hand and Qtip. then sized and lube wiped off and Qtip cleans the lube out of the inside of the neck. Then after sizing and before final measuring they get the nylon spinning bore brush taken to the insides of the neck again. Then loaded. The brushing of the case neck ID really made a difference in sizing and seating forces no matter what method of cleaning was performed. Accuracy improved a bit also with brushing. I know some that will pin tumble then corn cob polish to make em slicker. But they use stainless pins. And the reason for corn cob was because sizing forces were greater with pin tumbling. When i did a brass fail test shooting 4 different brand .308 cases until they failed I did not do any fancy cleaning just brush and wipe off. Sub MOA ammo even sub MOA with mixed cases and not trimming the necks until they were .030" past trim length. 100 yard shooting though. No annealing either and the winner was R-P .308 case with over 52 reloads until it got a case head crack. [/QUOTE]
