    Mate, just out of interest. What did you use for the agitators and how did you fix them in?

    The agitators are some blocks of nylon or plastic I got from a friend. They were sealed to the pvc with silicone sealant and screwed from the outside.
    Before I got the nylon I was just going to use some L shaped stainless steel and pop rivet it on.

    The stainless steel media I've found round here seems bloody expensive. Could you just use a whole lot of stainless screws or nails???

    The media pins are a good shape and small enough to clear out primer pockets. Buy once.

    Serious Shooters in Ak is the cheapest source of stainless pin media that I have found. $45 for 1.5kg. Still not as 'cheap as chips' but a better price than at most other local suppliers.
