Separating SS media from 22lr brass

I just got a tumbler and some SS media. What is the methods are you guys using to separate the brass from the SS pins after tumbling?
Thanks.

What size and kind of tumbler did you get? I bought the 15LB unit from STM I have not tried it but I have seen the finish product from other people, I will be using the method they use on their demonstration video.

DukeInMaine put me onto the Dillon media seperator....the smaller of the two..the CM-500 model. I have one on order. Duke said that this is the only one on the market that he knows of that will not let the 22lr brass fall through the slits.

Its also good for your swaged boolits.

I've been using the Dillon media separator for a couple of years now. It is by far the best option I have found.

I also use the small Dillon Media Separator to remove SS pins from the brass. I fill the tub up with water and rotate the basket. The pins wash out of the brass and into the tub. Works great for me.

Don't blame me, I voted for the American, again!

I tried all of the other companys cheap models and could not find one with slots thin enough to hold onto the brass while Allowing the pins to fall through. The smaller Dillon works perfectly.
