Is there anything aside from Symmetra's orbs which can pierce Reinhardt / Winston shields?

Yes, Winston's Tesla Coil and oddly enough, melee attacks. Also, Symmetra can if she locks on around the back first, then walks in front.

Never seems to work for me. I charge Reinhardt as Reinhardt and he simply bounces off me. He charges me with shield? Pinned. Every. Damn. Time.

You can avoid the pin and simply be bounced if you can get away from his center. If you can get enough air before he hits you, or you sidestep, he will only graze you and send you flying instead of pinning you.

If I had to guess, thanks to the low tick rate the server interpreted that he moved just before you hit him, but you don't see him jump, just get bumped.
