Thank you for purchasing the Hornady Lock-N-Load

The Hornady Lock-N-Load
® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM removes carbon residue from the inside and outside of cartridge
cases with high frequency ultrasonic energy and a specialized cleaning solution. Unlike case tumblers, the Lock-N-Load
®
Magnum Sonic Cleaner
TM
effectively cleans the inner surfaces of cartridge cases as well as the primer pockets. The
Lock-N-Load
®
Magnum Sonic Cleaner
TM
features a 3 liter stainless steel tank, removable basket, digital minute timer, and
adjustable heater. The Lock-N-Load
®
Magnum Sonic Cleaner
TM
may also be used to clean other small parts.
The primary function of the Lock-N-Load
®
Magnum Sonic Cleaner
TM
is to chemically and mechanically clean a variety of
items. It may or may not produce “shiny” brass. To create bright and polished brass we recommend using the Hornady
Case Tumbler. Not all carbon buildup and tarnish may be removed from cases due to the corrosive nature of some
primer residue and/or deep corrosion.
