How long does it take to clean ammo? I'm thinking of getting it to clean about 500 rounds of 40 cal.

It takes about 3 hrs. To clean your brass where it looks like new. With 40 cal. You can tumble 50 to 75 rounds at a time, if I had to do over I would buy the next size larger tumbler

I'd estimate that the inside diameter is about 10". It does a very fine job for me with about 75 9mm brass, but 125 is about the max. for getting the brass really clean in not much over an hour. I'd say that the longest piece (of rifle brass) would be 30-30, 30-06, 308, etc. in that family. You could probably clean the .50 BMG, but not very many at a time, for sure! DocLewis

I'd say it works better than a nut gatherer the tines are closer together I haven't had any fall out I'd guesstimate about 100 to 130 pistol cases depending on caliber and size maybe more never counted to be honest. We practice and qualify on sand and this works just fine. The emptying attachment that comes with it works great. Picks up .223/.) 556 just fine. I love mine saves my back at the range after practice and qualifying I have the caliber sorters for the bucket too and love that also

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

Not long. Seems to linger in the room where I was cleaning more than on the gun itself

Hornady has a cleaning solution for both Brass and parts. They are different.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope it cuts down on wasted ammo while dialing in the sites.Rob

I bought my 10/22in 1969.Since then I have shot over 25,000 rounds thru it.The only time it has jamed was when I loaded a bent roumd.Used to carry my ammo in my pocket and one got bent.I have a Weaver K4 scope and an Uncle Mikes sling.Put in the recoil buffer and first shot noticedthe improvement.Good hunting.

Sorry for the slow response. I use it on Glock magazines in 9mm and .40 cal. I always put the first round in by hand and then use LULA for the rest. Hope this helps.

I use a coffee filter and drain mine into a bucket. I've reused the same solution to clean 10+ AR uppers and at least 20 pistols. Simple Green works fine as a solution and is cheap. I've not had problems with 'pitting' with any aluminum parts.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

I currently have 5000+ rounds of 22LR in the carrier --- still packed in the boxes for ease of use. I would guess that if I emptied the rounds out of the boxes, dumped them in, and let everything settle, I could get close to 6000 rounds in each carrier. Hope that helps.

If you are referring to the Air Pistol I used, it only uses a single cartridge. For Max damage, I usually replace the cartridge after 10 -14 shots. After that the velocity drops dramatically with air pistols. If I am just messing around, 20 -30 is about norm. Though this pellet makes better use of the air when firing, as the pellet sits tighter in the chamber than other types of pellets

If you been shooting a lot of lead pellets from it or copper bb's you may want to clean the barrel first, just like any rifle or pistol. The lead or copper build up will cause inaccuracy after a while of shooting. I shot these out of my Crossman Pump master 760, and they did very well. Remember to use proper safety equipment, and always exercise proper gun safety rules before, during, after shooting!

Sorry I can't help you. I gave the case cleaner as a Christmas gift and all I know is that it apparently does a good job of cleaning partsfor my son's shooting gear.

I haven't started loading rifle ammo on my new loader yet. I am cutting my teeth on loading .45 ACP. With that being said, the best recommendation I can make is that you go to youtube.com and search for .223 reloading. There is lots of information for other reloaders on that site. And you won't regret doing the research.

Depends on the pellets used, the better pellet the less residue. But overall quick simple, oil it up and keep shooting. I got at least 100 shots in before needs cleaning.
