    Home made Ultrasonic cleaner solutions?

    Can't recall if this is covered here somewhere, but what are reloaders go to solutions that get the job done? home made or brought solutions?

    Have a Hornady LNL heated model, I notice that it states not to use Lasso case cleaning solution will damage the tank....

    Cheers

    From half to a teaspoon of citric acid (from the baking section at the supermarket) and hot water.
    Rinse and done.

    I found leaving brass to soak over night and then sonic them makes cleaning heaps better
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    Only a small one at the moment, 400mils, got a 2ltr one coming.
    Decap and a quick scritch of the primer pocket and into the cleaner. I use white vinegar( don't leave cases in overnight !! ) usually give them about 45 min, take 'em out, rinse in hot water(helps with the drying) with a bit of baking soda dissolved in it ( this neutralizes the vinegar and prevents the darkening/staining of the brass ) and then a good shake out of excess water, then into an open container and into the oven for a while or leave them in the drying cupboard for a day or two. If you want super shiny cases then chuck 'em in the tumbler, but personally I think thats over the top

    One of the big name 'carbon removers' you buy for a fortune at the gun shop is nothing more than Enviro Clean and a touch of soluble oil
