Stainless Pins 6mm Issue

[Longtrain]

I have been using stainless pins since they came out years ago. Since I'm shooting a 6 BR and Dasher the pins fit perfectly in the necks creating a log jam so to speak. Does anyone make a pin that won't get stuck in a 6mm neck? Thanks.

Sleeping giant brass has some that work

Most online companies give their pin specified length on their site. I use .255 length pins. Absolutely great on my BR...but guess what they do to my .257 AI.

I used this mostly recently:

Been using my Sleeping Giant tumbling media for several weeks now. The media just pours out of my 6mmBR and 6.5 CM brass instead of the "log jam" I had been getting.

Thanks for the info, I ordered a bunch from Sleeping Giant.

I've been interested in wet tumbling for a while, but was hesitant to use media that could lodge in a case and potentially damage a bore if fired. I found stainless balls used as polishing media by jewelers, and bought the 1 mm size because they're too small to lodge in any part of the case, and they're small enough to do a fairly good job of cleaning primer pockets. They aren't as aggressive as pins, so more time is needed; 1 hr wasn't enough but 4 hr did a good job - the outside is like new, all carbon is removed from the inside (rough, not shiny), and primer pockets are mostly clean. The balls I bought range in size from 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and the largest ones could lodge in a flash hole, but that's not a problem for me because I ream all of my flash holes to 0.0625" - YMMV. So far I'm really liking the process.

I put a lot of effort into making and maintaining my cases. I am not going to beat them up with steel pins, balls, or anything else. Just my thought.

I wanted to try using pins but, as you pointed out, I kept seeing people having problems with pins getting stuck on the flash hole. I posted my question on another forum and was told about these:



They are 1/8" and won't lodge in the flash hole.

I have both pins and chips . Chips work better hands down .

Sleeping Giants small diameter pins will cure your issue. They do work well.

Sleeping giant brass has some that work
