Ultrasonic cleaners

[Thehowler]

I’ve been looking to purchase one of these for my reloading, gun parts, and also cleaning my fuel injectors.
Sportsmans sells the Lyman and Harmony. Any opinions out there good or bad on which units to buy or stay away from?

I have the Lyman 2500. Works great. I run my cartridges through tumbler, then resize/deprime and into the sonic cleaner. I change solutions and run my guns parts through it. Never a problem with the Lyman in 3 years.

Works great.

I use a Lyman as well.  De-prime first with a universal die, then into the cleaner, then size.

Thanks for the input

I use the Lyman as well. No troubles in 4 years. I use water, drop of dawn and a tsp of lemi-shine. Works very well!

Do you all use dry neck lube for bullet seating with the Ultrasonic cleaners?  I've read they get the brass too clean otherwise.

Good article, note taken.

I really like my stainless pin tumbler but don't use it much anymore as I'm getting best accuracy by just wiping brass with polish cloth and brushing necks out with nylon brush wrapped with 0000 steel wool.  Not sure the steel wool helps or not.   This is for low volume 1000 yard loads ( 20-30 rounds at a time).  When I do pin tumble I use the Imperial dry neck lube.

They do get sticky.  I use the Lee cream lube in the necks.

I final tumble mine with treated corn cob before reloading.
