[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 672536, member: 24624"] I only have and only use a sonic cleaner. I have the one from Harbor Freight that looks just like the Hornady model. As best I can tell, they're made in the same factory to the same specs with a lower price tag. I use the Hornady cleaning solution. It goes a long ways. So, I see no need for home brews. I'm not going to argue which is best. But, I will say I am very pleased and it fully meets my needs. Clean primer pockets are nice. But, a quick twist from the uniformer resolves that regardless. Drying is only an issue if you're in a hurry. As I don't get to shoot every day, letting brass sit over night is usually not a problem. I only use it about every 3-5 firings. ...i.e., as-needed I have often pondered the effects of fouling in the case necks. I've tried ignoring it, using brushes, steel wool on a drill, and sonic cleaning. Unless it's excessive, I can't tell that it does much to my every day, mid-range accuracy. But, when I'm getting down to a serious set of brass, I sonic clean. I uses Redding dry neck lube to help alleviate runout when sizing. It may also help with bullet seating and neck tension. But, I can't say for sure. If you want to do a good job, do what I do. If you want to be great, listen to Jeff and Mike. -- richard [/QUOTE]
