The fan in my Hornady 2L ultrasonic is about to go out and I decided to get a new cleaner. The Hornady worked okay, but I wanted a larger capacity and something a little more powerful.
I ended up getting:
I just ran my first batch of brass through it. Here are some observations:
- I ran about 200 6 BRA cases and 30 300 PRC. It was probably 1/3 full, so I'm thinking that I could have gone one size smaller as I don't usually run this much, and I still have a lot of capacity available.
- I ran it for two 30-minute cycles using Boretech's Case Clean - three cap fulls with the water just covering the brass.
- For comparison, I would run my Hornady for three 30-minute cycles.
- The cases are definitely cleaner with this new unit.
- Every primer pocket was spotless - usually I would have some that had some residue with the Hornady.
- Some necks still had carbon residue, but a simple swipe of my finger cleared it - this has been common for me using ultrasonic.
- It is louder than the smaller Hornady unit by a fair amount.
- It has a drain with a valve to open/close. Very nice feature.
- It has heating.
