I've been wet tumbling for over 2 years and never change the pin or water amount. The information online is a little misleading! The drum alone weighs 7#! By the time you add 5# of media, you only have enough capacity for 32oz. of water before you reach the 15# listed rating. Realistically, you will be in the 22-24# range when you add your brass and water within 2" of the lid. I regularly tumble 250 pieces of 223 and the combined weight is about 24 pounds. I do run mine longer than most, something like 5-6 hours. The brass is 90% clean after 3 hours, so that is probably good for most, but the last couple hours shine it up a little more and get the last bits out of the primer pockets.
