I built a rotary tumbler this weekend to clean my 22LR brass before derimming and after annealing. In retrospect, it would have been cheaper to buy one, but I wanted lighter and easier to handle drums. The one in the photo is 4-in PVC.
My question is what size pins work well on the 22LR? I've seen 0.041-in, 0.047-in, and 0.062-in diameters. It seems some have issues with the 0.041-in pins hanging in flash holes, but obviously isn't a concern with 22LR brass.
I intend to buy the 0.062-in for general brass prep (and support a site vendor), but thought something else may be better for the 22.
