8.34lb per gallon water. 128 fluid ounces per gallon. Works out to more like 15.3 ounces, not two.You realize that that is only two ounces of water?
Once you start pin tumbling, you will never go back to dry media tumbling. More work, but brass looks like new.
I haven't had that issue with the pins I am using tumbling 25-06 or any other caliber. It is a bit of a PITA to separate the pins from the brass, especially when tumbling smaller handgun cases, but it is worth it. I put my case separator (just the black plastic cheap one) on top of a screen strainer and dump it all in and rinse. Separator catches the brass amd strainer catches the pins. I still have to shake out some of the pins, but overall it works well.My pins don't get stuck in the primer pocket, they lodge cross ways in the neck of 25-06 cases and some others. Have to pry them out. For some reason, the ones with a pin cross ways in the neck always contain pins in the case that couldn't get out. I have to manually shake them out after dislodging the one in the neck.
It depends on the tumbler size , it's common to see 1/3 pins to capacity recamended example 1 part pins 1 part water 1 part brass
