I like my Lyman but I think I will add a sonic at a later date especially if I am going to keep trading and selling brass.

rick,
if you would like to try my ultrasonic, its at your disposal.

Thanks for the offer. I have pretty much everything I need on order except the ultrasonic and will order it as soon as I sell the extra computer I have.

I have been messing with brass a lot lately to get what I need and keep ending up with a bunch extra or calibers I do not shoot. I am not going to make a business out of brass but trading it to folks that can use it seems like a good idea.

Anyone with a ultasound unit could try what we do at work with our unit ,add 1/2" of filtered water to the tank and put what want to clean in a lab berker with your cleaning chems.

Little update. My new Lyman tumbler is having problems already and my ultrasonic is not here yet. :censored:

Motor seems to be overheating and trying to lock up and so far I have not tried to clean any heavy loads. Couple hundred 45acp is the biggest load I have put in it. I know I just got a lemon because it was not acting right from the start with it walking all over the place. None of the reviews I have seen have mentioned that problem.

Anyway I will be returning it in the next few days for replacement.

My new Hornady ultrasonic came in yesterday and I have already run over 1000 through it. :D

Gets the brass really clean in no time but some does come out a little blotchy looking. I will still use a tumbler (once it gets in) for a polish on the brass I am trading but for mine they look good enough.
