    I got rid of my chips after while. I keep my cleaned brass in a plastic container. I started noticing chips at the bottom of the container. Now I use a media separator and tumble out the steel. My thought is some of the chips are getting stuck in the primer pocket when the primer is still in it. I also now pre-dry my brass in a bath towel. I through in a magnet to catch any strays.

    I'm back to pins. Not sure the chips were really any better.

    know hindsight is 20/20 but wish I'd known you were getting rid of them--would have worked out a deal to trade $$ for them
