That thread on snipershide is awesome. Anybody see the pics of the guy who converts his laudry drier into a huge ammo drier.
Actually, Trevor Dickerson (STM.com) copied the idea from Mark & Terry at Sniperhide. Nothing wrong with STM.com, they bundle everything up and ship to Canada which is very convenient. However, there are cheaper (arguably better) suppliers out there. I got my media from Mark (5lbs) for $55 to my door and my Thumler (model B) from Cabelas (USA) for $196 to my door. The reason I went with Mark is his pins are magnetic which makes for ease of cleanup, apparently (I can't confirm) STM.com media is not magnetic. FYI Lemishine is $4 @ Canadiantire.

Looked on a metal list, 303 and 304 becomes slight magnetic when worked so maybe the friction during tumbling is magnetizing it. If its either of these grades though. Is there a specific source for these pins? McMaster carr doesnt seem to had the diameter of 3/64s is that correct?
The part that sold me was spotless primerpockets, hated cleaning those. The rest of the inside being clean is a bonus and I don't brush out the necks anymore. Means I can get ammo loaded more efficently.

Did you ever find the pin's you were looking for?
I have Mark's contact info if you still need it.
