Looking at getting my first one ... And thinking of getting a sonic cleaner.
Anyone else got one ? Are they good ?

Looking at getting my first one ... And thinking of getting a sonic cleaner.

I have an ultrasonic cleaner, with hot water and citric acid
I used a sonic cleaner. Did about 50 at a time let them dry over a few days and then tumbled them. Only prick was getting all the media out of the cases, but a toothpick and some patience worked.
I still use the tumbler and walnut media.
Works well for me.

Um, I have a slightly over-engineered case cleaning setup :sick:
It's called a Nova DVR XP lathe...
Actually, it is a plastic bucket from Mitre-10, with wooden base plate and chuck ring bolted thru, runs sweet at 100 rpm.
Cleaning media you ask ? Er, rice with a splash of autosol :D
P.S. Don't use Brasso or any ammonia based metal polished on brass - turns it brittle
If you just want to wash cases without polishing, use warm water, citric acid (baking section of supermarket) and dish soap.
Do you gain much from cleaning cases? ive wonderd about it,dose it benefit the brass life or something.just curious
Yes I have a cheap Hornady one of tm,
Yes it's very good, cleans up brass sweet as, cleans out primer pockets, and all in about 40min on really dirty brass.
Here's today brass drying by the fire:)

Hey Brad what solution you using in yours??ive tried all sorts of brews not sold on any yet
Hornady one shot sonic cleaning solution
Wouldnt mind seeing a photo of your setup ebf, might have to do something similar.
Cheers
Saw pics of a similar thing on US reloading forum.
Couple of quick phone pics, but you'll get the idea...
Anything more than about 125 rpm, centrifugal force does not let the rice drop down.
