I use these mesh fruit bags to separate loads in my tumbler.

They work great ... the mesh is large enough for the pins to move freely and the brass comes out as clean as when there is no bag. This way you can get a full load and don't have to sort after tumbling. So I throw about 200 7.62x39 cases in a bag and about 500 .45 ACP loose in the drum.
When done I pour out the brass into my media separator and this is what I get ...

Yep, every one of the rifle cases had a pair of friends attached !
The bag came untied somewhere near the end of the cycle as the brass was clean, even the areas covered due to the nesting. The rifle cases were full of pins, so I had a watery, pin infested mess to pull apart. I've done this dozens of times and never had a bag open up before. You can bet I'll make darn sure of the knot in the future!
In fact I'll just tie them tight and cut the knot off each time, the bags are free and long enough to lose a dozen knots and still be large enough to be useful.
Me thinks your brass is mating, and kinky too, menage a trios... And multi-racial too..
Am I still allowed to say that????
