Lightbulb Separator?
How do you all separate you media after you tumble your brass? I have a lyman vibrating tumbler deal and it does a great job of cleaning my brass. A little new finish car wax, corn cob media and wha la shiny brass! But then I have issues, I use a this pan:::

then I have to then go shell by shell to make sure I get the media out. Do rotary separators work better or do you still have to do it the hard way?

Any thoughts would be nice, let me know what you use and how you like it.

thanks!

I use 2 colanders, set one on top of a bucket, dump the brass and media in, set the other on top upside down and hold both rims together and shake

You can buy the plastic colanders from Dollar General for a couple bucks apiece. Then get a Homer bucket from Home Depot to let the media fall in
