Ultra sonic cleaning
Does anyone here use this method for cleaning a handgun ? I would love to remove the stocks on a revolver and drop it in a bath, to come out clean.

I see where manufacturers rate the bullets for a certain velocity , but you can get there with different pressures. Is the lower pressure load likely to lead less ?

Leading ?
Assuming proper bullet fit , is velocity or pressure the bigger culprit ?
