media sifters/separators

[mapper]

I picked up the cabelas/rcbs/berrys one for wet tumbling
For light duty, if you like to fiddle with it it works.
Its no dillon though.
I take some mosquito netting over a collander and strain the water from the pins/brass
Then in the separator it goes, after 2 basketfuls, a small piece of the basket hinge broke off.
Its ok, I wanted something with a top for the wet stuff, and rcbs stands by their stuff, so I'm not worried.
Good enough for what I'm asking of it.

Get one of the cheaper ones that look like it if you go this route, they are all made by berrys, and the same except color
From what I have seen.

I have a completely enclosed spinner to separate the brass from the pins, and I use a releasable magnet to collect my pins afterwards. Goes pretty quick.

Thanks, I'll get the magnet, and ditch the collander/mosquito net
Mainly just wanted to try it today.
No magnet in site locally, so this was a bandaid solution to try it.

Happy with everything but the time/volume of brass
Its still faster for me to dry tumble and brush out primer pockets, for rifle, more volume as well.
Than decap and wet tumble in smaller batches
Less dust though, but brass has to dry.

No free lunches, still got to pay the band to play.

How does a magnet work on stainless pins?

[AB]

I got mine from Midway USA. Franklin Arsenal, I think.

Bodo, I think you might need another cup of coffee.

if stainless has a Ferritic structure it is magnetic. Some have a higher amount of nickel that m makes it non magnetic. I think. It's been a long time since I Had to think about this shit.....

Damn 12B, I learn something new every day.

I just figured he had stainless confused with aluminum. All stainless I've ever worked with would attract a magnet. Thanks

I messed with plating years ago. Boss would come in with a magnet and check me. If it was not magnetic he would get on my ass for not putting enough nickel in the tank.... You tend to remember shit when it's hollered at you enough.

Non magnetic is more corrosion resistant but lacks strength when compared to magnetic .

[Bodo]

Learned something today. Most stainless steels are magnetic. Any that I've ever used is non-magnetic and I just assumed...
