Will the round still fire in a gun?

OnTheFly:
Not that I've ever done such a thing, but I'm just curious what a round that was subjected to this "hypothetical" scenario might do.

Whatever your answer is, please give your reasoning.

The way I am reading your question I understand that you are asking if it will fire in a gun after the torture test of cleaning and exposure to high heat. It might!

 If you mean that will the cleaning and/or 200 degrees cook off the round;

More likely if the sonic cleaner is a liquid the vibratory action would likely allow the powder and primer to be contaminated.

Since it takes Nearly 300 degrees plus to cook off a round 200 degrees in the oven won't do it.

You sound like you have experience with this.

Did you try one out yesterday? :laugh:
I kinda think the sonic cleaner liquid would contaminate the powder as well.

Yes...that is the question.  Poll question and thread title edited to clarify my question.
