Time to test out the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner. I chose to take on the task of cleaning a bunch of .223 and 5.56 range brass I found on the ground that certainly needed it. Into the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner with a small amount of concentrated Ultrasonic/Rotary Case Cleaning Solution and it was ready to start. I also added an old and very tarnished incense burner.
After a 30 minute run time on 140 degrees Fahrenheit the results were shiny and impressive!
Check out the incense burner! Even that item got a much needed renewal.
Draining the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner was quite easy with supplied flexible hose and the easy drain port.
The brass fresh out of the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner is quite impressive. This was just a 30 minute run time and that is all it took to turn this tarnished and dirty range brass into clean and ready to load cases. I dried them all in a dehydrator after removal from the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner before I loaded them.
