Primer pockets

There is absolutely no need or benefit to cleaning primer pockets. That said, I always do it on rifle cases. Why..just because, that is why!

I don't clean handgun primer pockets. If I put the cases in a cleaner, I do so after in the fired condition. I then deprime and size and reprime.

I do not like carbide dies!!!!! They oversize cases and I am not a high volume shooter anymore. I use 50s and 60's steel dies and am much happier. Lubing and wiping off the finished round is normal for me.
