It would take to long. and may be a real bitch to clean out all the stuck media inside the bolt.

Besides the media getting stuck and taking a while, underneath the extractor and ejector won't get cleaned out. It's best to let the bolt sit in a cup of your favorite solvent. I can't see the bolt group being damaged, but it seems like a waste of time.

ok sounds good. I will try that then.
Seems like it doesn't get clean all that well when I just do it by hand and don't let it soak |

Cleaning a bolt is not that hard.
