Ultra Sonic Cleaners?
Quote from Reloader on October 10, 2012, 12:40 amI'm curious to hear from some of you, regarding your opinions of Ultra Sonic cleaners, to clean used brass, and gun parts. Both Hornady and Lyman make them, they're not too expensive, and they sound a lot nicer, and healthier to use than breathing in corncob and dust. Would appreciate your ideas.

Quote from Reloader on October 11, 2012, 4:07 pmthe liquid case cleaners require an extra preparatory step before cleaning, in that the cases must be deprimed first. Otherwise, the primer pockets won't dry out completely. Additionally, If the interior of the case has the carbon coating removed on handgun brass, it requires significantly greater effort to withdraw the case from the expander funnel. The light carbon deposit on the interior of tha case acts as a lubricant. After the brass is cleaned, it still requires some time to dry.
Conversely, brass cleaned in a vibratory cleaner does not need to be deprimed beforehand, and is ready to load as soon as you take it out of the cleaner. The primary purpose for cleaning cases is to remove any dirt/grit that can scratch the dies or firearm chamber. Clean brass is easier to find if ejected from the firearm, but otherwise cleaning serves no other functions.
