    Hey guys,

    Just getting into reloading and starting out with a single stage press and just de-priming and re sizing range brass at the moment. Just bought an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the brass and store in bags until I'm ready to proceed. My question is without using store bought brass cleaning solution do any of you use a homemade concoction to clean your brass? Online I've seen guys using Dawn and vinegar of different mixtures but wanted to see what guys used on here. Thanks in advance for the advance and information.

    depending on your size of sonic cleaner, I used 1 45 case full of dawn and 1 45 case full of lemonshine.
    i had the regular size hornady cleaner till I stopped caring about the bling bling as much and sold it.

    I never had any luck with the ultrasonic cleaners. I use the wet tumblers now with the stainless steel pins. Even cleans the primer pockets. Would not go back to the ultrasonic.

    I've heard good and bad on both sides of the fence. Thought Id try the Ultrasonic first and see what happens. If it doesn't work out I can always use it to clean my wife's jewelry lol
