What do you use to clean primer pockets?

[bigbrad53]

I have used them all, brush style, screw driver style and the one similar to the above made by Lee, works an absolute treat and is fast.

cheers.

A little shorter than one pictured but yes a Lee. Been using them for years.

I chuck it in a dewalt drill and it gets the job done fast.

Just order the k&m flash hole deburring tool & the primer pocket uniform ing tool. I've heard a lot of good things about them & they were very nice, helpful, and professional. I'm not sure how much it will help as I use Lapua , but I'm doing everything I can to improve my process to provide the best consistency possible . David said the pocket hole uniforming tool does an excellent job cleaning.

After you get done using it you will want to do all your cases with it. It's a perfect looking pocket. Like you put the case on a lathe.

I believe you. All was shipped this morning as I changed order from professional to premium with the kit for a drill. They are a pleasure to work with.

I use a small flat-blade screwdriver. Works great and only takes a few seconds,

Title says it all. Do it by hand? Use electrons?

I started reloading by cleaning primer pockets for Dad about 1965. He used a small Grace hollow ground screwdriver. The handle is placed in the palm of the hand. Index finger on the stem. A quick turn of the wrist and carbon comes right out. It may not look pretty but it does short work of the chore.

What about the Flash hole

 

[Magnum Mike]

By hand with a primer pocket wire insert/brush then through the walnut media in the vibratory cleaner.

What do you clean the Flash hole with ?

Yup same here. If block with walnut media I'll use a toothpick. Now to flash hole deburr I use a Sinclair Flash hole Duburring tool.

All my brass is primer pocket uniformed. New brass is sized, length checked and trimmed if necessary, then an ultraonoic bath to clean. Fired brass - deprimed, a walnut media tumble, resized, length checked and trimmed inecessary. Then an ultrasonic bath to clean off lube and any other residues. Double check the primer pocket, and, if needed, cleaned with either a Lyman primer pocket cleaner or an RCBS primer pocket brush depending on which I think is appropriate. Doesnt really add that much time to my reloading proecess, and works for me.

I uniform ALL my brass with K&M primer pocket tools. Like all my K&M tools, they are fast, efficient and a pleasure to use.

And the K&M priming tool and neck chamfer tool. Great products for sure
