I have a rather large ultrasonic cleaner and am wondering what would you use as a solution for removing case lube. The lube I use the the Lanolin and alcohol 12:1 mix. I have read many forums and seems like using vinegar and hot water and some salt with a few drops of dish soap.
I have not tried this yet so am looking for recommendations from others.

I solved that problem by wet tumbling after deprime/resize.
We just tumble in Corn Cob for 15 min to remove case lube, then we can hang on to them to Giraud Trim :) They they go to the finish tumblers for us
Dry tumble with walnut shells. Works wonders
May be a stupid question but I don't have any issues after using a 1:10 ration of lanolin. Just shoot it.
Similar to others, I tumble mine in corn cob after resizing, trimming, and chamfering. It cleans the lube and the brass scraps so the cases are all shiny and ready to load.
Lanolin doesn't come off wet tumbling with the normal mix. So the first hour I use about a half cup of simple green. Works like a champ.
I dry tumble also, sadly then i have to get the @@&$/ media out of the flash holes...
I hated thatQuote:

I always wet tumble before resizing to keep my dies cleaner, and if lube is used for resizing, I wet tumble again for 20 minutes after processing the brass to get the lube off.
I solved the problem by using a universal decapping die on my progressive press.Quote:

Spray them with brake cleaner in the same tub you lube them in and shake it just like you would to lube them. It doesn't hurt the brass ans it's alot quicker.
The original wet tumble recipe from Brownell's included their "degreaser" for which Simple Green is a more than adequate sub.Quote:

One of the many reasons I use bolt guns for my ~4500rds/yr .223 use on prairie dogs is that I can neck size the brass.
So my approach is neck size/deprime - wet tumble/dry (sweater rack in dryer, low heat) - prime, charge, seat, crimp.
No media in flash holes, no lube, nvr have to trim cases, seldom see split case mouths.
