Sure, see the website for Bullseye-Reloading. Link is attached below. I'm a user of their "Ultra 47" pins. They are a little larger than standard pins. The result is no pins ever get stuck in the flash holes.

A standard SS tumbling has a diameter of 0.041". Standard flash holes are manufactured with a 0.082" diameter. Therefore, the reason 2 standard pins sometimes get stuck side by side in flash holes.

From my experience, I've never had a stuck pin using the 0.047" diameter pins since 2 of those pins exceed the flash hole diameter.

I suggest using these larger pins for SS wet tumbling. Therer's no change in tumbling time or those great wet tumbling results using the larger SS pins. No downside that I can see.
