Thanks petemacsydney, Just put on on order from ebay.

I did a search and found this on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99kGy8-bGXs

It looks like the lymans solution is not as good as the water, vinegar, salt, detergent solution. I have seen that recipe on other web sites also, see below. Obviously it would need to be scaled down for a 600ml US Cleaner

Hot water 4 parts (Cups)
Vinegar 1 part (Cups)
Dish soap-detergent 1 table spoon
Salt 1 table spoon
The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

I tried the solution without the tumbler by just soaking for about 30 minutes with the occasional shake in a plastic container and it did clean them a fair bit, but not great. I'm hoping the US cleaner will get a better result. I don't shoot a lot so looking for a cheap option.

I like to include myself in that group.

Maybe I'll start wearing some polished .50BMG brass around my neck. Or not...
