so where can one get this citranox stuff?
I'm looking into the Hornady one for around $100. Anyone tried it?
Thanks Jed, nice post. really enjoyed it. Did your pistol cases look as good using same formula? I'm going to try the Hornady & your formula. I shoot 223 & 45 acp as well as 9mm. I like my brass clean as possible. I'm an old bullseye shooter, didn't use to be so picky. Since my heart bypass, I"ve gotten picky {HA}or maybe its old age. Anyway I've got more time now to reload & shoot. Thanks again Jed. Happy shooting to you & to all of the High Road shooters. I enjoy reading the posts & being a member as well. k&j 223I have used the Hornady unit for the first time today and I must say that I'm pretty impressed! The basket holds around 200 .40 S&W and a little less for 45 ACP. All the brass I cleaned was deprimed and sized. I also used the Hornady cleaning solution that comes in the quart size. Instructions say .5oz cleaner per 20oz water. If you have those plastic medicine cups that come with kids cold medicine, you can use one of those and fill it to 15ml which is .5 oz.
It has several cycle times, the most being 480 seconds (8 Mins). After each cycle (did 3) I scooted the brass around with my finger. I must say the brass I had was a mix of recently fired to been laying on the ground for months. And it all came out clean and surprisingly shiney, primer pockets too! After rinsing off in a strainer I just spread it out on a clean cotton dish towel and let them dry, rolling them around a few times. The capacity is a non issue with me since the cleaning times are so fast. I really like this thing.
Realguns did a write up on it if your interested.

Just out of curiousity, how many .308 cases would that hold and still clean well?
That's far more then I expected. It doesn't look that large in the ad. I may look into one of those. Thanks QI don't reload rifle but the documentation says one hundred .308 and two hundred .223.
