Stainless steel pins

I use the real lemon you have in the fridge instead of lemishine. its citric acid without the detergent. works way better and easier to find (I have yet to see lemishine on the shelf anytime ive ever looked) once my sample ran out and I found the real lemon I havent even looked anymore truthfully.
 
Thumbler’s B, 150-200 308 cases, filled w/water & 2-3 lbs pins + 1/2-1 tsp LemiShine & 1 tsp Dawn dish detergent or All clear laundry detergent. Run for 2 hours, rinse cases & pins well, set cases in old plastic cartridge holders & shake out excess water, leave to dry.

In the sun in summer, drying takes 2-3 hrs. In the output from my dehumidifier in the fall, overnight.
 
I have a small harbor Freight tumbler and use a lot more L


I use a lot more LemiShine and Dawn than some on this website? I don't know if there is too much. Now I eyeball from the container. Small Harbor Freight tumber. My questimate: heaping tsp. of LemiShine 2-3 table spoons of Dawn. Works great.
I believe less lemishine is better. I have used too much and the brass turned copper colored. I cut down the amount and the copper color went away. If it works I would keep doing what works. I inspect each case. I don't want a pin going out of my barrels. 6.5 Grendel are the only cases I have had pins stick sideways in the neck. 25/06,.30 cals , .22 do fine. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
