[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 944041, member: 2736"] I am still on the fence on this one. I like the fact that the brass comes out clean on the outside and in-side. and the primer pockets also with the STM. The problem is the number of steps to end up with good results and the time rinsing and separating the pins from the brass. also if the brass is not well rinsed it will corrode very fast. The vibratory method is easier but does not clean the inside of the case and the media gets stuck in the primer pocket and has to be removed on some cases. Also the brass should be solvent cleaned to remove any abrasives left on the case. Sonic cleaners clean well but do not polish the brass (Some like the looks and feel of polished brass) So In my opinion all three methods have there merit and may suite the needs of the reloader. I use both the STM and the vibrator methods Depending on what I am looking for and the end results needed. I feel that some form of cleaning should be done no matter which method is used. I know that this was no help but it is up to the individual to pick what method is best suited for him. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
