Cleaning bullets in ultrasonic cleaner

[Alibiiv]

Alconox is the brand. Citranox is the solution. It is very concentrated and needs diluting.

Is there a particular vender where it's available? I've never heard of this product.

Looks like it got discontinued. At least the quart size.

Looks like they just discontinued bottling the quart size. Sell what's left and then just larger sizes.

Yeah the quart size got discontiuned. But the gallon still looks like is available. Limited supplies on the quart.

I'd just use a solution of Dawn for oily residue and vinegar for tarnish.

I had some dark looking, tarnished 30 cal 190's that I threw into the ultrasonic cleaner the other day that turned out nice. I used the Hornady cleaning solution used for brass cases.

For experimental sake, I thread a handful into a vibratory cleaner w walnut shell. Not gonna do that again. They came out clean but with a dull finish.

I'm loading these for subsonic 300 blk , so I'm not too concerned about it.

Anyone have any experience with cleaning bullets with ultrasonic cleaner? I have some 180 Accubonds that have green corrosion on them. No idea why as they aren't even a year old. Thought I'd give it a go, but also figured I'd ask here.

I use the Ultrasonic Cleaner with heat and a 50/50 mix of Lemon Juice and Simple Green. If your local grocery store doesn't have the Simple green, Home Depot carries it. My brass come out sparkling clean and then I put them in the tumbler and they are polished beautiful, like new. Hope this helps you

What kind of citrus based detergent? Is it something readily available to consumers? Or is there a commonly used one?

Consider trying Citranox.

Look at Amazon. We were able to get it cheaper there than directly. Ordered a bunch of it last year by the gallon. We got a small bottle as a sample direct from alconox when we first tried it. Weather or not they don't do the small bottles I don't know. You can call them.

Thank you Steve.
