Ultra-sonic or ss pins / wet tumbler?

What sized pins do you guys use and do you have any links to them?

I have 223, 6mm and 6.5 to deal with
I use these.

I have a 3kg tumbler off eBay and I've used them with .270 and .308 and they worked well.

This is the same as my tumbler

I put 1lb of pins in with a teaspoon of citric acid crystals, a dash of washing up liquid and a dash of rinseaid. Never had any stuck in the flash hole. From what I've read they can get stuck sideways in the case mouth of a 6.5mm case but if you decap, then tumble before you resize, the case mouth is slightly wider so they're less likely to get stuck.

I use this salad spinner to separate the pins from the cases after I tumble them. Cheap and works fine.

i use a U/S after depriming, brings the inside and primer pockets up like new, then after resizing, expanding the necks and trimming if needs be, 2-3 hours in a dry tumbler and there as new in and out,
and at £415 for a lyman wet tumbler, id not call that cheap, and probably the cost of some decent pins on top of that, my set up was £200, U/S will do 50 243 cases and tumbler does a 100 easy👍
 
Yes currently I use the US cleaner. But thought I'd try wet tumbling to see what all the fuss is about
