Ultrasonic cleaner recipes...

[New loader]

I've been using the ultrasonic with great results using 1 part vinegar : 4 parts waters with a tablespoon of dish soap. I then set the cleaner for about 4 cycles of 8 minutes each.

I'm Curious what others have tried and if there are other home brew recipes for cleaning that might be better?

Would oxi-clean work? I'm always tinkering and looking for the next best way to do the case prep steps/cleaning/other details that make reloading better.

Brass cleaner from Lyman. I'd be reluctant to experiment on my treasured brass with home made solutions.

Here was my experience with ultrasonic and as stated in my post the recipe pulled from the 6mmbr page (I think).

Thats very similar to my solution.

I use it hot, for 2 cycles of 360 seconds each, and then a cold water clearing cycle.

Don't use my ultra much anymore- but I'm not loading precision rifle much these days, too many handguns to feed !

Hot water from the tap, a bit of dish soap and half a teaspoon of powdered citric acid, and two or three 480 seconds cycles. Then rinse in cold water and dry on a towel or with a heat gun, depending on whether I wanna use them straight away or I'm in no hurry. If I want them really shiny they go into the tumbler with corn cob and a metal cleaning solution for a hour and they look like factory ammo.
