I use a 20 mesh screen, the pins fall through, the .22 pellets remain on top.
These are stainless but have enough ferrous material to use a magnet on.

I used treated walnut husks for all my brass for decades and I was forever buying more to replace the dirty stuff then I found the pins in the clearance section at Midway as an "open box" and bought them
That was 2007, I have never replaced them, they don't appear to have worn any, they are as gentle as walnut and are amazingly easy to clean!
17 years? Well worth the money.

I will look for deals. Right now on Amazon its 2.5 lbs for $20. I too used the Media along with a little Prass polish for My Cases. I will definitely keep on the look out.

Yes, it's the same mix I use to lube black powder cartridges, minié balls... Anything with a grease groove. The layer on the slugs is the tiniest film. I'm talking a pea size drop on a microfiber, 100 slugs rolled in it, then wiped with a separate dry microfiber cloth. They feel polished, not slimy in the end. Now, when I saw the AEA long range master slugs I thought immediately of the .44 conicals I use in my 58 Remingtons and .355s for my 1860 colt NavyLike beef tallow?? You ammo bathes in gold

I shoot BP too but like bore butter. None of my lubes including Recluse's lube leave a clean bore and I just don't want that stuff in my barrel.

BP is inherently dirty. Bore butter I use to seal cylinders in revolvers, the tallow/beeswax is a trick I got from the YouTuber 'capandball' years ago. And it's served me well. Sizing/lubricating die with that mixture and nothing but. The fouling is very easy to remove with a damp patch.

Big fan on lanolin based sizing lube, I'll have to try the tallow/beeswax and see how it compares.

Any of you guys shoot the .25? I like the .25 in case of user error when hunting, the larger caliber will knock down the small game.

So far, each shot has been a instant kill. Whether headshot or heart shot, every squirrel has had a quick and painless death.I have both a .25 M60B and Zelos-B. Nice knockdown, a little much on a house sparrow...

sparrows are one of my favorite things to hit with .25. They come with a very satisfying and strong report.I have both a .25 M60B and Zelos-B. Nice knockdown, a little much on a house sparrow...

Indeed. Don't forget the mist.
Im sure you've done it, (or I'm sicker than I imagine). Shooting them with 34gr at 60fpe is an experience.
