Cleaning inside of cases with air blasted baking soda

Any one done it?
Results?

I use glass bead and it works great, but cleanup is a pain as it gets in everything. So I would think soda blasting would work just as well and you can just soak it in water to get everything clean after, I tried it in a spot gun once and it was ok, but I assume the pressure tank is the best way to use it.
I just have never switched to soda as its a one time use from what I understand and I already have a blast cabinet, but if I was starting from nothing, would probably try soda first as its less equipment.

The local old timer machinist told me not to get it glass blasted because it won't all come out afterward.
The air/soda setup is only a few bucks worth of tube, so I'm gonna do that, just for kicks.

With soda residue anything left behind can just be washed away with warm water

I don't see why it can't be done.

Many people will recommend vapor blasting, it looks so cool and the results are beautiful.
