[QUOTE="StumpGrinder, post: 1971909, member: 114832"] I've read all the response to this thread and I have to say that in 40 years of reloading I have never worried about shiny clean primer pockets. As long as the flash hole is open and there aren't flakes of carbon in the pocket, I just load and go. I have never had a misfire attributed to dirty primer pockets. I have had light primer strikes on striker fired pistols even with factory ammo. Usually a second striker hit will set them off. On rifles, revolvers, and 1911 style pistols I have never had issues with my reloads. I there is flaky carbon in the pocket I simply take a small flat tip screwdriver like the ones you get with a Stihl chainsaw and spin it in the pocket between my thumb and forefinger. No problem, it only takes a couple of seconds. [/QUOTE]
