    Removing case lube

    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

    Removing case lube

    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.

    The original wet tumble recipe from Brownell's included their "degreaser" for which Simple Green is a more than adequate sub.
