Will stainless pins .290” long shake out of 223 brass?
Submerging in water gets rid of the surface tension that causes the pins to "stick" to things because of the soap.
My pins are .040" diameter and .252" long and work with .223.
I didn't like my RCBS media separator. It had a groove at each end that would trap my pins.I use the RCBS media separator filled with water.
The RCBS has a cover so the water and pins don't go flying.
I separate mine in the dirty, soapy water straight from tumbling and it works just fine.Not at my house, soap makes it stick and water lets it go.
Looks like this.

The Frankford Arsenal one has a cover, too. The cover is particularly useful for rinsing on its own, as it has a very fine mesh screen in the center. It isn't hinged, just flip it over and pour the stuff in, the water drains right out.The RCBS has a cover so the water and pins don't go flying.
