I use both the Ultrasonic and a tumbler, the tumbler is easier. I drop it in run it, pull it out, give it a good shake and I'm done. The Ultrasonic I let the cleaner heat up run it a few times and then rinse it and while it's still wet I blow out the primer pockets with compressed air and let dry over night. . I tumble all my practice ammo and use the Ultrasonic for match ammo they are both well cleaned but with the Ultrasonic my primer pockets are spotless. I also run tumbled brass through a universal deprimer in my Reloader just to make sure nothing is stuck in the primmer pocket.
