I spent the day sending lead balls down range. After 90 rounds through my Pietta 1851 Navy Confederate, it was caked heavy with carbon. I'm running 22.5 grains of American Pioneer and .454 balls. When I got home, I decided to give something a shot. Since it took me over 1.5 hours to clean my pistol last time I decided to try something different. I broke down the pistol to it's smallest parts, and put all the pieces in my ultra sonic cleaner with warm water and Dawn dish washing liquid. After a single 5 minute heated cycle, 99% of all the carbon was gone. I don't know if this has been covered before, but I've seen no reference to using an Ultrasonic to clean C&B.
