[QUOTE="gruising, post: 2568064, member: 32859"] Long time ago when I was still pulling cases out of the pins by hand I noticed my hands got dirty. Figured that shouldn't be so I looked at the pins. Not shiny silver but a grey color. Ran the pins only with Zep purple cleaner. Back to shiny silver. I think it was the lanolin lube I use. Started pre washing my brass in warm water with Dawn to get the lube off and my pins stay clean now.I use a small shot of Hornady sonic clean in the tumbler and it works amazing. Dump brass in a bucket with warm water and Dawn and swirl by hand. Rinse brass and dump in the tumbler. I don't think pins ever wear out. Some of mine are almost ten years old and still work as new. Tip: only use .047 pins, don't get stuck in flash holes. [/QUOTE]
