Sonic Cleaner Solution
I resorted to cleaning up the outside of the necks with Krazy Kloth
or some fine steel wool, or even some Kaboom liquid cleaner on a paper
towel. For the inside, I would chuck a worn bronze bore brush in a
cordless drill. Lastly, I scraped the primer pocket with a Lee primer
pocket cleaner. All this work still left the interior of the case packed
with carbon residue. This residue liked to fall out in large flakes
during sizing and priming, and was a little disconcerting. Well, all
that has changed, and now I save a lot of time and repetitive case
handling, and end up with impressively clean cartridge cases.
Up until a few months ago, I never gave a second thought to using an
ultrasonic cleaner to clean cases. But after seeing several posts on
various shooting forums, I got curious and had to try one for myself. It
took me a while to find the right procedure and the best "cocktail" of
cleaners, but the end result was great. I've concluded that, if you're
fussy about your brass, ultrasonic cleaning is well worth the effort
