[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3091434, member: 5412"] I've never worried about primer pockets. Any crud left which is minimal is below where the primer is seated. I know some folks that are anal about primer pocket cleaning and do them one at a time with a hand tool while watching TV in the evening. For me only, I've just not seen any advantage to cleaning them further than what corn cob will do. The primer pocket gets the carbon reamed out of it when resizing the case and popping out the old primer. If I were a paper puncher with one hole groups as a goal, I'd probably take the time to clean them more thoroughly just to eliminate any possibility that it could be causing issues, but I'm a hunter, and sometimes competition rifle shooter where all I'm looking for is a hit in the A zone and its pretty big. My only concern as a hunter is where is that first shot from a cold bore going to land. I could care less about the 2nd and third for the most part, although they won't be far off. So, it's all about how much accuracy one wants to wring out of their rifle, and what their personal requirements are. I love going to the 300 yd range, and swinging steel as fast as I can pull the trigger. Don't care where it hits, I just want the steel to swing. [/QUOTE]
