My Only Issue with Stainless Tumbling...

[atlsniper6.5]

The .255" long media consistently wedge themselves in the mouth of my 260 Rem brass. I have to pop them all out, one at a time with a toothpick before I rinse the brass off. Anyone have a crafty solution for this?

same problem here with .264" Grendel brass. I just poke them out with a chop-stick and keep trucking.

If they could just make them a little bit shorter - LOL

Are you sizing before you tumble or after? You shouldn't have any issues if you size after you tumble.

Like the instructions state, when pins are found stuck, I toss them. Eventually the issue resides, though with .264" cases, it seems to happen more often. A first world problem...

I've only really had that happen with 223 brass from time to time, but not very often. But what I usually do is rinse everything off well in the media separator, then dump everything on a dry towel. I then run a strong magnet over all of the brass to check for any hidden media. If media is stuck in any of the cases, the cases will stick to the magnet. I then shake it out; rarely does it get stuck to the point where I have to pick them out. Your media is not getting stuck lengthwise right? When mine gets stuck, it is bunched together in the mouth.

Yes, it gets stuck in the mouth lengthwise. You probably wouldn't experience it if you aren't shooting a 6.5.

Last night's batch of 150 pcs 260 Rem brass had at least 20 pcs with media obstructions in the neck. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have them shorter.

Are you sizing before you tumble or after? You shouldn't have any issues if you size after you tumble.

Either way, you have to run them through again the get the lube off.

Either way, I would run them through again to get the lube off. I suppose I could get one of the bushings that doesn't require
lube to eliminate the second tumbling.

LOL - definitely a first world problem. I'll start tossing the ones that get stuck. Thanks!

If the pins were shorter then they would get stuck in smaller caliber cases, "BUT" these pins can be bought in different lengths and diameters.

You have three choices, change calibers, buy shorter pins or don't worry about it.

And remember your cases have several "holes" and you could reverse the problem. (in Italian this is called an innuendo)

Yep ... happens to me all the time which forces me to check each one individually but IMHO it's worth it! They are shiny clean inside and out!
