Ultrasonic Brass Cleaning?

[jeffsoward]

I'm giong to do a bunch of deprimed .223 brass tonight. I have a really crappy camera, so I can't take pics of how it does though.

I don't deprime brass if it's for plinking. If I want to try to do some for something special, then I'll probably do everything I can to prep them.

Deprimed before cleaning if its single stage press ammo. Not if its for the progressive...bulk.

Could you feasibly process a ton of pistol brass at once with this method?

Like 1000+ in an hour or so?

I know a guy that uses the rotary tumbler method. He does about 5000 to 10,000 at a time.

Yeah, I found some cool how to using crete mixers and electric motors. Even found one that used a dryer.

Hmmmm. That looks familiar.

Well you have to admit, it's a pretty good idea for large quantities. Don't think the dryer would hold well up doing them wet though. But I can see it now, set up outside on the deck of the doublewide!

Hmmmm. That looks familiar.

Where you and BB been hiding out?

Yes, we did.

Vdub,
I have both a vibratory set up and a model B. The tumbler is way faster for sure. I am curious as to what media you use? and where do you purchase it? I use plain steel media. I use the rotary for polishing brass and steel parts, not reloading, but I think I may start if I can find small enough media.
