    I've never seen a transfer magnet! I cover the mouth of a bucket with an old t-shirt, secure it with a rubber band, place half of a conventional media separator over that, and poor out my drums into the bucket. The media separator catches all the brass and some of the ss pins. The rest of the pins are caught by the t-shirt.

    That's actually the one I had my eye on.

    Got an actual count of cases last night as I was priming them, 542 cases... Up next I'm going to run about 280 308 and 60 or so 300aac, see how it handles that... So far I'll admit that I'm impressed, out of habit I checked the flash holes of the first 100 or so, perfectly clean and clear...

    Yep, mine didn't look quite as good as yours, but it still came out perdy.

    Well, I use the rotary for primary cleaning, but after sizing I put them in the vibratory with some Flitz media additive for a final polish and get the case lube off.

    I might end up going to that method later, but for now I use stainless as a final finishing.

    After 8 years of many 100's of hours of use, my Frankford vibratory motor crapped out. I too had been thinking of going the wet route so I ordered the Frankford wet tumbling setup from Midway today. Supposed to be here Friday. Hopefully it holds up to lots of use and my senior moments.

    I ran another load today, 300 308win and 200 300aac. About 4 hours of run time and they look almost brand new...

    My F.A. wet tumbler came Friday. Quick shipping from Midway as I ordered it on Monday. I did 4 loads of brass over the weekend and I'm very happy with the results. I'm still tweaking the soap/lemi-shine amounts but they put a better shine on the brass than the packet of cleaner that came with it. No more dust for me.
