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.

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.
