Enough pins for most needs can be shipped in a $5 small flat rate USPS box. A lot of people who have built larger tumblers buy here as the price goes down by the size of the order.

What size is the cut wire shot equivalent to the stainless you get with a thumlers kit?

They are the .035/.041 size as offered by Pellets, LLC. I just measured a couple of my pins and they both measured .038" dia and ,268" in length. These have seen a couple of years of use so they may be slightly smaller but definitely within that size range. One can go smaller if they desire but this size seems to have a minimum of pins stuck in primer flash holes or wedged sideways in primer pockets.

Those get stuck in my 6.5mm necks. I need to get some jewelers mix.

Why not just get the smaller pins? .028" or even smaller. IMHO the pins do a far better job of getting into the corners than the other options.
