Could you be a bit more specific? What kind? where to purchase? etc

Can't think of the catalog. I don't know if you can access but try Stuller, Inc. They are on of the biggest supply companies. I'll grab the specifics from one of my cataolgs at work tomorrow.

i have used a l&r ultra sonic cleaner for a long time. i use the birchwood casey liquid case cleaner along with it. simply mix a batch of the cleaner put it in the sonic cleaner and run it a few minutes, take out the casings, rinse in hot water and blow dry with an old hair dryer. this method will clean most of the funk out of the primer pockets but not all. the rest of the case is immaculate though. if you have previously polished your cases to a high shine you won't have to retumble every time.

the cleaning activities in the sonic take place after sizing and trimming. that way the sizing lube doesn't end up in your tumbler shortening media life.

berettadouble, Thanks, I did a quicky search and found several hits on the media, but not knowing squat on this type of media I had no clue as to what i was looking at, high aluminia 1.5mm x 5mm or 1.3mm x 3mm blah blah blah lol



Billy D Thanks, me thinks I know what I'll say to my wife when she goes "So, what do you want for Christmas?" I've seen a few nice write ups on using ultrasonic cleaners. For me this would be perfect since i usally only work up 50 to 100 rounds at a time max, and I get a bit tired of having that constaint rumble rumble rumble sound of my tumbler in the gun room every time lol

i've heard varying reports on the ceramic media. i'm anxious to hear what feedback you get on this. some folks say it was designed for rotating tumblers and a liquid charging and won,t work in standard tumblers. i don't know.

i have always been happy with corncob and walnut.

From Cabela's website and the media in question:

"For use in case tumblers designed for use with liquid media agents only."
