Sonic cleaner. With 50 %vinager 50 water and a splash of washing fluid. 2 x 480 sec. Rinse in water. Then dry in oven for 15mins at 100c. From deprimer to ready For refill about an hour. Easy.

This is getting quicker! I hadn't thought of putting them in oven. I've ordered the citric acid so will try that when it comes, first try was water only with drop of washing up liquid and that gave a good result.

Ordered citric acid, why? All you had to do is ask your lass to pop in to wilkinsons and get a box (naturally you said it was for descaling the kettle) think its only £1.50 a box

Lass who does shopping has said her elbows hurt, something to do with heavy shopping bags! As nearly Christmas let her have a rest! Ordered Friday, delivered today (Monday) and including delivery cheaper than Wilco without the trauma of shopping!

After years of using corncob / walnut media, putting cases in a vibratory cleaner for hours at a time, i'm thinking about switching to ultrasonics....

I've got this in my Amazon wishlist, anyone tried them..??

I really wouldn't be putting any non-proprietary acid/alkaline cleaner near my brass. Brass is a soft metal and corrodes rapidly in the presence of any acid or alkaline. Even weak organic acids like citric will pit the brass and weaken the case. Take care.
I always use corn media and add a small amount of Autoglym polish to the media before tumbling. Leave them overnight in the vibratory cleaner. Nice and shiny.
