The Hornady Lock-N-Load Sonic Cleaner 1.2L is an ultrasonic case cleaning system that tackles the part of reloading most loaders dread: getting brass truly clean inside and out. Unlike tumbler-based approaches that leave primer pockets and case interiors compromised, this sonic cleaner uses intense ultrasonic action to blast carbon residue and foreign material from the entire case—interior surfaces, exterior, and primer pockets included. If you're loading precision rifle rounds or high-volume pistol ammo and want prep that actually matches your equipment's quality, this is the tool that gets you there.
The system works by generating microjets through ultrasonic vibration, a completely different mechanism from traditional tumblers. Those microjets are aggressive enough to dislodge stubborn carbon buildup on cases and small parts alike, but controlled enough to be safe for brass. Pair it with Hornady's One Shot Sonic Clean solution (which works with the system's design) and you get a fast, repeatable process that doesn't require hours of tumbling or the dust that comes with wet media. The 1.2-liter tank capacity holds up to two hundred .223 cases or one hundred .308 cases per run, making it practical for both volume reloaders and precision hunters who prep smaller batches between seasons.
Setup and operation are straightforward—this is 110-volt AC powered, so it integrates into any reloading bench. If your current prep routine leaves you picking crud out of primer pockets or wondering if your cases are truly clean, this sonic cleaner fills that gap. It's the kind of equipment that pays dividends in consistency, especially if you're chasing tight velocity spreads or hunting with hand-loaded ammunition where every detail matters.
| Brand | Hornady |
| Model | Lock-N-Load Sonic Cleaner |
| Tank Capacity | 1.2 liters |
| Power | 110 Volt AC |
| Cartridge Capacity (example) | Up to 200 .223 cases or 100 .308 cases |
Yes, in different ways. A sonic cleaner uses ultrasonic vibration to clean case interiors, primer pockets, and exterior surfaces simultaneously—areas that tumbler media can't reach effectively. If you prioritize thorough interior cleaning and primer pocket prep, ultrasonic cleaning is superior. Traditional tumblers excel at polishing; this system excels at contamination removal.
The 1.2-liter tank holds up to two hundred .223 cases or one hundred .308 cases per cycle. Capacity scales with case volume; smaller cartridges fit more, larger ones fit fewer.
Hornady One Shot Sonic Clean is designed to work with this cleaner and is the recommended solution for optimal results.
Yes, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Sonic Cleaner operates on standard 110-volt AC power, making it compatible with typical reloading bench setups in the US.
