For the folks who use wet media to tumble brass with, what do you use to sift out the brass?   ???

I haven't been able to find anything, and am thinking that it is a hand on duty.   :-\

I use a french fry basket.  The round kind.  Found at a restaurant supply outfit online.  They ran me around $7 ea.  With one of those and an ice cream bucket yer good to go.

I have a Dillon seperator.  Kind of like a french-fry basket in a clam-shell set-up, with a handle that rotates on an axis.  Works fine.  You have to go slow as it comes, or the sides of the container can be extended upwards for faster cranking, but that's easily enough done with cardboard and duct tape.

But I still get about 1 out of 4 or 5 cases with a piece of porcelain stuck inside the case (45 Colt & 44WCF - 44-40)   When I mentioned this to Dick, we got to thinking that the pieces may be cut a fraction longer than what Dick's had before.  Not a big deal - it happened as often with corncob/walnut shells.
