I personally use dry media (walnut) in my Hornady M1 case tumbler, I had one of the Hornady Sonic cleaner and hated it. What your thoughts on case or parts cleaners?

I have a midmark 250 ultrasonic for cleaning parts, pieces, dies.
I have 2 most tumblers by Frankfurt Arsenal out on loan.
I have zero rotary tumblers.
I have 9? Vibratory tumblers. The Ultravibe line is the best l have found, made by Thumblers Tumblers.
But l do thousands of pieces at a time.

I've found wet and dry have thier uses. I have a walnut dry tumbler. Lyman I believe. My hornady ultrasonic is pretty much just a parts cleaner now. 99% of my brass is ran thru a SS pin wet tumbler. Cleans nasty brass up like new in a couple hours & the primer pockets are spotless if ya deprime first.
