Ultrasonic brass cleaners - alwie - 08-13-2022
Hi All,
I have been looking at ultrasonic cleaners for my brass. It looks like the ones specific to brass are more expensive than a generic ultrasonic cleaners. Wht is the advantage to the ones marketed for reloading?

These will work way better than ultrasonic.

I use a $20 small ultrasonice cleaner that cleans 40 Arc cases at a time, take 5 mins, I use 10% white vinegar to Hot water and a pinch of salt ( makes a very soft acid doesnt damage or decolor the brass).
Rinse em and then 30 mins in the oven at 300F to dry and de temper somewhat.
I anneal every 3rd firing.

A Hornady digital caliper is $40. A digital caliper can be had for $25 at an auto parts store. Do you think there's a difference there?
