    Stainless pins give the best results, but the process is a bit of a PITA.

    If you want a sift pan that fits over a 5 gal bucket, its yours. I used it for a year untill I got tired of shaking media out of rifle cases like a salt shaker.
    For pistol it worked fine.

    lee pro 1000, much less painless price point than the big blue. Will upgrade if I keep at it.

    I like using the Lyman 2500 ultra sonic cleaner,cleans inside outside primer pockets also.After I dry them throw them into corncob media for about 10 minutes looks like brand new brass.

    Even being a "big blue" guy, I think that was a wise decision. Just don't forget to do due diligence; check it drops powder in each cartridge case, make sure the finished product chambers in the firearm you plan to use them in. I do that to this day . . . and I am a big blue guy.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    Thanks to Rumbler, AirGator, AB and others for input and advice.
    I have all the components and the equipment.

    I hope to make some test rounds between now and sunday.

    AB said my reloading bench would not win me any prizes for wood working.
