I generally as a rule used compressed air to blow out the inside of the case and get any dust from the pockets. These media separators are probably great if tumbling a few hundred pistol cases though.
a tip, leave the primers in until after you tumble
from what i've heard those seperators work well on pistol cases like 9mm, not so well on bottle necked rifle cases but i've not used one.
I bought a rectangular plastic tub from somewhere and found a mesh one that fits inside it. i just empty the tumbler into it, lift and shake the mesh one and 75% of the media falls through then i just upend a couple in each hand and tap them together before putting them aside and grabbing another 4 or so
