Good to know, Larry. I leave the brass in the vinegar/water mix for fifteen minutes and then neutralize w/baking soda. Just came back from Harbor Freight and bought the ultrasonic tank - which is the same as the Lyman at half the price.

The active ingredient in the Caseys/Birchwood is phosphoric acid. It isn't too much stronger than a Coke has. To net the same effect, it just takes longer in the Coke than the Casey's does. Considerably cheaper too. Coke solution pours out and looks near black from knocking the crap out of the brass.

Just getting into reloading, as I am doing 9mm auto and 30-06 for my brother's Garand and my Springfield. He needs 150gr/Hornady SST's and IMR 4895 and I use the same powder but use the 165gr/Hornady SST's. Both with Winchester primers. Need to do 7mm Mauser(7x57) and 250 Savage after I make enough rounds of the other stuff first . . .
